Digital Crate Digging with YouTube Sequencer
What is Youtube Sequencer?
Have you ever hit the number keys while watching Youtube? That simple action jumps the video to different timestamps - and creative musicians have discovered you can use this like a primitive sampler. This observation sparked an idea.
As someone who loves experimenting with drum machines like the Arturia Drumbrute, I wanted to take this Youtube "feature" and transform it into something musical. I built Youtube Sequencer using TypeScript and Redux to create a robust, reliable music-making tool that doesn't miss a beat. The result is a sequencer that turns any Youtube video into an instrument.
Traditional sampling can be time-consuming, requiring you to download, trim, and import audio files. Youtube Sequencer removes these barriers - just paste a URL and start creating.
I liked poking around with this thing. I pulled some video links from astronaut.io and plugged them into this and had a lot of fun trying to find the musicality of them. A neat entry in the casual creators category.
You can find what I noodled around with on the Share Patterns tab. I'd love to see what other folks make with this!
