Code of Music: Week 5 Drum Machine – Thomas Tai

Live Sketch: https://editor.p5js.org/thomastai/sketches/LWnAr-XQ

For this week’s assignment, we were asked to create our own version of the drum machine. For the theme, I added Windows XP sounds to make it sound like a computer from a decade ago. I made a few changes to the example shown in class. I added more tracks, labeled beats and track name, and allowed the user to change the tempo and volume. One small detail which I thought was important to add is to make the cursor change when it is hovering over a rectangle. I also added margins and rounded the rectangles to make it more visually appealing. Naturally, the colors of each track are Windows XP logo colors. Below is a video demo of the project:
