How would you/Geordie like to do it? I'm working in logic and can output midi files and samples/sampler instruments… what would be most beneficial? Your description of Geordie sounded like he could take the concept and run with it, but I'm happy to jam out some actual elements – let me know what kind of assets make most sense right now. Thanks boo

It's actually gonna be me ripping on this one - Geordie has hit the road for a Czech Republic odyssey!
I reckon MP3s (all browsers support MP3) would be ideal - dropping down into midi is going to be a bit of a mindmelter.
hmm… okay – so is this a situation where we can have multiple mp3s loaded simultaneously and turn them on/off? Like having 1: steady hihats/cymbals track 2: snare fill track, 3:tom fill track – and they get turned on and off with specific activations? I'm concerned about things being able to sync properly. How were you thinking of doing it? Or how was Geordie going to build it?

Sync'ing audio is a total nightmare pretty all the time, so my recommendation would be we lay a ground loop of the highhats with enough variation that its not boring, and then keep most of the fills as short and "flammy" as possible. We'd then trigger them on mouse click, rather than tring to line up to the original beat. That could feel nice - giving the user the ability to "play" the kit a bit. Might be fun to interact in a groove~!
Once that's working - we can look at lining it all up to a clock, but for the first iteration I'd like to get a kinda MVP working.
Just also wanted to note that this feature wasn't something included in the August 3rd goalpost date - so we'll be working on finishing the rest of the tickets before tackling this one!
Cool - can we randomize the fills? Say, have 5 snare fills to choose from so it doesn't get repetitive? Or more?
I hear you on the ticket thing - I'm gonna need time to get all of these sick jazz fills as righteous as possible in the meantime
Thanks dude! How are we looking overall?

Awesome - yeah we can totally randomize! We can also have a set of files for each action (dragStart, dragEnd, didDrag, onClick, onDrop, openCube), so each can have its own family of fills.
Just conscious of download heavyness, but we can probably get away with heavily compressing the fills, and just have the base track at a higher quality.
There's some stuff out there on JS audio clocks that I've found, so I'm sure we can get it just right.
Doing good! Patrick and I are doing another big sprint on this on Sunday, so monday we should be looking suuuuper crisp.
Also - we're doing automated builds now, so http://herman-miller.sanctuarycomputer.link will usually have the latest features live...!
Rockin - sounds good! Will check it when I'm back in the office. And yeah I'm good with the gray color. Thanks man
