A browser beat machine that takes a reggae or dub track from skeleton to export. Seven riddim forms from ONE DROP to PSYCHEDELIC DUB, eleven auto-generated scenes, an eight-lane dub console, a siren, a texture rack, and a SONG MODE that lines up two-bar clips into a track of up to thirty-two bars.
ONE DROP is loaded when the page opens; hit a pad and two bars start turning. Place the drums and bass, throw them with ECHO THROW, and CAPTURE the state you like as a clip. Repeat that and you reach the shape of a song, either as a sketch before opening a DAW or as the finished piece.

PATTERN offers seven forms with three skeletons each. AUTO generates a full song skeleton from eleven scenes such as ONE DROP YARD, STEPPERS, STALAG and DIWALI, from a key, BPM and length. RE-ROLL gives another take; SEED recalls the same one.
An eight-lane, thirty-two-step grid covering two bars. AUTO songs open scene by scene through SECTION and PAGE; APPLY ORDER sets a custom sequence and AUTO FORM restores the generated one. Up to twelve sections.
Each of the eight lanes has level, echo send and MUTE, and ECHO THROW is a one-switch dub throw. TIME and FEEDBACK set the tail, FILTER and REVERB set the depth. The siren has RISE, FALL and WOBBLE with PITCH, RATE and ECHO; the Texture Rack adds layers of grain.
Edit the KICK, BASS and SKANK/BUBBLE voices directly. Changing bass weight or skank bite leaves the pattern untouched. RESET returns the default voices.
CAPTURE records two bars into one of eight clip slots, + ADD places a clip in the song and × CLIP deletes it. The selected clip is wired to the grid, so edits go straight into it. The arrangement stays in the browser, so you can close the page and continue later.
WAV is two bars, LOOP WAV is loop-ready, STEM gives dry per-lane audio, MIDI is for a DAW. ● REC records the performance as played, and COPY URL shares the settings and pattern.
74 BPM, ONE DROP, FOUNDATION. Capture the main first, then a thin intro with KICK, RIM and BASS removed. Use TURNAROUND for the turn, and one more clip with everything but drums and bass removed as the drop. Line them up and it is a song.
Around 90 BPM with STEPPERS. Keep the quarter-note kick, raise only the SKANK echo send and keep FEEDBACK short.
Set the Riddim Bank to AUTO, pick STALAG or DIWALI and keep LEN short. Thin out each SECTION in the grid and CAPTURE only the scenes you like.
SONG WAV and SONG MIDI bounce the arranged clips into one file. MIDI carries no audio, so assign drum, bass and keyboard instruments after importing into a DAW. Clips and the arrangement live in this browser's localStorage; COPY URL shares the pattern state only.
Start from one preset or one pattern, then adjust only the part you can hear changing.
