A huge collection of Drum Machines for SuperDirt and Tidal

List of drum machines

See the full list of drum machines here.

How to use

Run the custom SuperCollider bootup found in tdm-sc-boot.scd, or add the necessary parts to your own bootup. Then run the haskell/tidal code found in tdm-hs-setup.tidal, or just copy and paste it from here:

let drumMachine name ps = stack 
                    (map (\ x -> 
                        (# s (name ++| (extractS "s" (x)))) $ x
                        ) ps)
    drumFrom name drum = s (name ++| drum)
    drumM = drumMachine
    drumF = drumFrom

Examples

Here are some examples of how to use the drum machines:

drumMachines

d1 $ drumMachine "bossdr220" [
    s "[~perc]*2" # note 7
    ,s "bd:4(3,8)"
    ,s "~[cp,sd]"
    ,s "hh*8"
]

The drum machine can be pattern'd:

d1 $ drumMachine "<bossdr220 rolandtr808>" [
    s "[~perc]*2" # note 7
    ,s "bd:4(3,8)"
    ,s "~[cp,sd]"
    ,s "hh*8"
]

drumFrom

You can also just call one percussive element:

d1 $ drumFrom "linn9000" "bd*2"

This method could be useful for live performance:

do
 let dm = "linn9000"
 d1 $ drumFrom dm "bd*2"
