tahti.studio by maxjvh is a beautifully designed, highly capable 8-track drum machine/groovebox for the browser that is free to use. Go try it out right now, you won’t regret it!
Way beyond the average 808/909-style browser drum machine, tahti.studio feels more akin to playing an Elektron Digitakt or Model:Samples. With features such as variable track lengths, sample-based playback, per-step microtiming, loads of modulation capabilities, live parameter locking, it’s all there. (I recently got an Elektron Model:Cycles and the sequencer feels wonderfully familiar.)
You can even share your patterns, rendered WAV files, or collaborate with others.
hello everyone! i’ve built an 8-track groovebox that works entirely in the browser and is free to use: https://tahti.studio/ lurking on this forum a lot, i thought someone here might appreciate it 🙂
some key features:
sample-based sound generation with support for single-cycle waveforms
almost all parameters can be modulated on a per-step basis
each track has a multimode filter, distortion, frequency shifter, sample-rate reducer, and amp envelope
three freely assignable modulation sources per track (essentially flexible LFOs that can be used in one-shot mode)
steps have micro-timing, retriggering, probability, and trigger conditions
tracks can have individual lengths and sequencer speeds (the latter can even be step-modulated, because why not)
four send effect: chorus, phaser, reverb, delay
a master compressor and soft clipper
macro controls for working with all kinds of inputs (check out the shortcuts)
it’s got a default library with some samples and demo patterns made by friends and myself to get you started, but you can also use your own samples. unless you decide to share patterns, everything happens in your browser and nothing is uploaded to a server. unfortunately, it doesn’t currently work on touch devices, only on desktop. i don’t have any kind of documentation yet but i think if you’ve ever used an Elektron box you’ll probably get a hang of things fairly quickly 😀
play with it and let me know what you think!
