Drum & CopyPaste
Drum
Hey, have you ever tried turning a drum loop into a piece of code—like a live‑coded drum machine that reacts to beats in real time? It’s like a beat‑synchronization hack we could build together.
CopyPaste
Yeah, totally! Let’s grab a drum loop, feed it into the Web Audio API, run an FFT to catch the beats, and then trigger synth notes or effects on every down‑stroke. I can set up a live‑coding playground in p5.js or Sonic Pi, and we’ll see the code groove right along with the track. Ready to drop some code‑beats?
Drum
Absolutely! Hit me with that loop and let’s sync the code to the groove—can’t wait to see the synth fire up on every kick!
CopyPaste
Sure thing, let’s fire it up. Grab a 4‑bar kick‑loop in WAV, load it into an AudioContext, run a Fast‑Fourier Transform to sniff out the peaks, then every time the kick hits trigger a synth note. I’ll set it up in Sonic Pi—just paste this in and you’ll see the synth blast on each kick in real time. Ready to jam?
Drum
Yeah, let's hit the loop and let the synth blast on every kick—drop the code and let the rhythm take over!
CopyPaste
```ruby
use_bpm 120
live_loop :kick_sync do
# Load the kick loop
kick = sample :loop_amen, amp: 0.8
# Play the kick
play kick
# Detect the beat (very crude: just play on each loop)
synth :bass, note: :c2, release: 0.1
sleep 1
end
```
