DORO

A drum machine whose kick, snare and hat tracks each run at their own swing ratio.

Controls

To begin: The play button starts it. GENERATE writes a new pattern, and STYLE and KIT change the air of it.
Play button / GENERATE: Start and stop; write a new pattern.
K / S / H: Mute each track. The number beside it is the swing ratio (50 to 67), and the slider next to that is the level.
+: Loads audio files of your own as that track’s sound source. Press again afterwards to clear them.
STYLE / KIT / GATE: Pattern type, kit, and how the sounds are cut off.
Sliders: TEMPO / DENSITY / TIMING for how far the hits wander / DRIFT for how far the loop drags as it goes / TUNE pitch / ROOM reverb.
Hold the waveform display: A fill sounds for as long as you hold. A new figure is written on every press, and releasing returns to the pattern. You can keep holding with one finger and work the controls below with another.
Keyboard: Space starts and stops, G writes a new pattern, and holding F plays a fill.
REC: REC starts capturing what you hear; press it again and it stops and saves a wav. The file name carries the tempo and the seconds from the start of the file to the first bar line (e.g. doro_085bpm_nokey_off1.399_1014-0638.wav). Drop it into a DAW, nudge it later by that many seconds, and it sits on the beat — no trimming the head. The WAV also holds an acid chunk with the tempo, though whether it gets read depends on the DAW.
