Here's the final version of something I was playing with all week:

It's a "DJ studio" that has three working instruments: a drum machine, a looper and a one-shot sample player. Enjoy!
(Try using the Q, W, E, R, A, S, D & F keys to "play" the sampler)

- That's so cool, would love to have more pads to play with ;)
- I was using my touch screen...I'm not good with my keyboard. Worked great!
- I love this idea!
- What a novel idea. Like it!
- Mark - really cool concept. I love the background beat and then the user can add additional beats as they would like. Super creative.
- that is fun to try out...
worked really well... looking forward to seeing any updates you share - So I've been playing with this concept a bit and built a drum machine:

My plan is to try to combine the two (with more samples for you, Andrej!) before the wrap up. - https://www.mindstreamelearning.com/dj_studio
I ended up re-working this idea and built a "DJ studio" that has three instruments: a drum machine, and looper and a one-shot sample player. Getting triggered audio to sync up took a lot of trial and error, but I got it working for the most part.
Regarding animations, I tried to mix it up a bit. There are a looping animations (the start button indicator, the drum machine sequencer, and the spinning records) and triggered animations (the sampler buttons and waveforms).
I'd love any feedback and am happy to explain how things work if anyone is curious.- This is amazing!!! Such a cool interaction!! Would you consider making this downloadable?

I made a screencast about how it was made for this week's eLearning challenge, in case you're curious:

I lost steam after explaining the drum machine, though, but feel free to reach out with any questions about the other two devices. The sampler (bottom left) is pretty straightforward, but the loop player (bottom right) was tricky to get playing in sync. Look at layers 1 and 9 to see how I ended up doing it.
