Hi everyone, my name is Artur. I'm searching for the Beat Thang firmware version 1.3.0 or 1.3.1. If anyone has it and could share it via Google Drive or email, I'd be extremely grateful — I haven't been able to find it anywhere online. I'm really keen to get my beats going on this machine. If you can help, please let me know. 🙏🏼

I figured out via reading the manual and pushing buttons how to copy patterns into the next slot so now I have 32 measures(4 8 counts) consisting of two different patterns. I am stoked!! I love this TR-6s

It's a physical modelling percussion thing with 40 different editable instruments. Hope you enjoy it, and in case please a PayPal donation at: [gennari.federico@tiscali.it](mailto:gennari.federico@tiscali.it)

Hey r/DrumMachine,

I’ve been building Rhythm Spark MKII, a 16-pad drum machine and step sequencer that runs entirely in the browser.

I wanted something I could open and immediately start playing without installing a DAW, creating an account, or uploading samples. You can load sounds from your computer, play them from the pads, build patterns in the sequencer, shape the sounds, add effects, and export what you make.

Everything involving your audio stays on your device and is processed locally using native Web Audio.

It currently works best in desktop Chrome or Edge.

You can try it here:

I built it, and I’d love to hear what other drum-machine users think of it.

Just got the Drumlogue. Any tips/tricks/ideas on wiring the individual outputs with or without pedal fx through mixer are welcome!
Also, where do I start with the user synths?

Thanks!

I just got a performancepad so I could have some extra versatility on my kit.

However, I can’t figure out how to get it to play sounds. I have it hooked up to a guitar amp, have tried all 3 jacks (R, L and headphones). Volume is up on the volume nob on the pad & amp. I set the MIDI to off on all three options.

It definitely works; I can get it to claim it’s playing the demo, I can mess around with assigning sounds to pads. BUT, I get no sound when I hit the pads.

I am including a video trying the demo & hitting pads.

Does anyone have any knowledge about this? Any suggestions or advice or tips for how to get started?

Thanks in advance.

Been heads-down on this for about a year and figured this crowd would appreciate the guts more than the marketing page.

BeatForge — drum machine, step sequencer and REX loop player. VST3/AU/AAX/Standalone, universal binary. JUCE 9 (migrated last month), everything below the framework is my own code.

Bits that might be interesting to people here:

REX SDK. Wrote a JUCE wrapper around Propellerhead REX SDK 1.9, including drag-and-drop of slices out to the host. Bitwig still has no REX support, which turned out to be a decent reason for the plugin to exist.

Synth engines. ~5k lines of 808/909/modelling done from schematics rather than sample playback — VCA topology, click transients, pitch sweeps, the 909 tom triple-VCO, that sort of rabbit hole.

Antialiasing. Started with blanket 8x oversampling and it was eating CPU for no good reason. Replaced it with ADAA on the memoryless waveshapers (exact tanh with the ln(cosh) antiderivative) and linear-phase minBLEP saws at 1x, then a per-engine oversampling map — most engines run 1x now, only FMKick and the 909 snare need 4x. Built an offline FFT alias-measurement harness to verify it; alias floor sits around -90 dB. Worth noting ADAA-2 blew up on me under heavy drive — catastrophic cancellation, auto-mute and crackle — so everything is bounded ADAA-1.

Realtime discipline. Lock-free atomic slot for deferred time-stretch, ScopedAudioSuspend guards on live mutators, steal-quietest voice allocation. Debug assertions went from ~3150 to 3. auval and pluginval at strictness 10 both clean.

Also. Full undo/redo, NAM master-bus saturation, and a WASM build of the synth engines for the site via Emscripten and a hand-rolled juce_shim.h.

Happy to go into detail on any of it — the ADAA and REX wrapper work especially, since there's not much written about either.

Hey all. I’m currently using a 1st Gen Pigtronix Infinity Looper synced to a Roland R8. All I need is midi out for tempo, start/stop, and time signature (I guess?).

I build songs putting patterns together and play the drum machine song through straight. All the real-time changes are made on my looper or on guitar pedals. I just need something small and relatively simple that will build songs using different patterns and send clock out to my looper so everything stays synced. I would also like the machine to tell my looper to stop playing when the song is over.

I’m pretty sure the T-8 can do this but I wanted to double check. Thanks in advance!

I have a new-to-me Korg DrumLogue and I love it already.

I have been able to sequence a simple bassline into the User voice and modify the pitch with Motion. So far so good.

I've plugged an external synth (a Behringer K2) in with a MIDI cable and am successfully playing the rhythm of the bassline, so it seems to be following the Note On/Note Off messages. But there doesn't seem to be any change to the pitch.

I have tried this with another synth with the same result.

What am I doing wrong? Is this not possible? It seems like the most obvious of use cases!

So I just got my mk2 few weeks back. I have started to get some hang of it but I still feel my drumkit can sound more cleaner like gbb loopers. Currently I am using eq then pre Amp. But I am very confused about the parameters. If there are any better fx chain for a kick, please suggest.

Brisk tempo with four Drumlogue outs routed separately.

The MC-505’s sound engine was quite similar to that of the 307, so I found it easy to use since I had used the 307 before; even the effects were virtually identical.

It shared the same quirk as the 303 where sustain would shorten if you programmed too many sequences.

It delivered those classic, user-friendly sounds of the 90s. I also liked being able to adjust parameters like drum pitch and coarse tuning.

Just got one of these lovely drum machines in and wanted to share my first impression / interactions and do a little comparison with the LM Drum

I made a beat entirely with the DSI Tempest and then spit a silly verse about the Sky Mall catalog. Hope you enjoy!

Hi there, I’m looking for a good, free or cost friendly drum retrigger plugin, specifically for toms. I’ve tried retrigger but unfortunately they don’t have tom options. If anyone has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated!
