DrumMachinePO - A simple 16-step sequencer with Pocket Operator sync

DrumMachinePO is an enhanced version of Playdate SDK example - DrumMachine - which is just a single-pattern 16-step sequencer.

It adds the following features on top of the DrumMachine example:

  1. Save/Load project

  2. Multi-pattern (up to 18).

  3. Pattern chaining (up to 12 different pattern chains).

  4. BPM/Swing adjustment

  5. Pocket Operator (e.g. PO-33 KO!) sync ability.

  6. User-defined samples (instead of built-in sounds, must be done while connected to PC)

  7. Performance mode

I’ve made this mostly for myself (to save some money by not buying PO-12/PO-33), but I got more invested somehow.

Any feedbacks or feature suggestions are welcome!

To be added -

  • Multiple user samples per bank, which can be chosen at a runtime (KickDrum1/KickDrum2…)
  • Dedicated effects menu (delay,filter…)
  • Performance mode UI overhaul

so cool, I can't wait to try it out! I've cleared the "new user" flag on your account, let me know if the forum software gives you any more hassle about posting links :slight_smile:
