SambaWeb
Thank you for trying or log it in SambaWeb!
It’s an online application, it will play on your browser like a live website. Since it’s a fairly sizeable machine, it may take some more seconds to load than usual sites. We will explain how the functions work here:
Master Controls
PlayButton – will play the beat. It will also trigger the INTRO if this is selected so.
BPM – will control the speed (beats per minute). Push the up or down to choose your speed. Each beat comes with the suggested bpm, but you can save yours.
Swing – It will add some “balance” to the original beat.
Sequences – Each toggle has a specific beat that you can play as a sequence, forward or back, as well as intro or ending. Just use the sequence buttons to go further or back, or trigger the intro or the ending of a beat.
Beats – Here you open the pull down menu where you choose your beat, like Sambas, Bossas, etc. Note that there you can SAVE the edited beats, and there’s a loop section too, with fixed beats (you can change few bpms though).
Track Controls
Instrument – Here you can change the track’s istrument, if you want to try or edit the beat. To see all the tracks, click over the DOWN ARROW button located below the app.
Pitch, Pan, Volume and Reverb – use them to set for each instrument track. You can try some panning effects as well as reverb to open up the beat.
Tracks
Down Arrow – It will open the track editor.
Track Editor – Each track has 16 toggles that will play the instrument timely to create a beat (green dots). Try to change as you like and see how many variations you can make! If you like, open the BEATS pull down menu and save it at the memory.
Also you can add/delete more tracks or create from scratch a new beat.
Troubleshooting
SambaWeb is very simple and intuitive tool to play with. Any problem with the sound just check your device volume and/or lock button. It’s a good idea to close all other apps for the internet performance.
The app is already able to play offline and some devices let you load the app too. But it may vary from each device used, so it’s still in development.
