It is a little complex, so pay attention! Lol. - The green flag resets everything, entirely. - Press the start/stop button to start and stop the machine. - The "Semiquaver" box shows which 16th note it is on. ("Semiquaver" is a fancy word for "16th note".) - Press the "Tempo" and "Swing" buttons to change those. - When you click on a drum sound, options appear to change the sound and add a rhythm. - If you want to make a custom rhythm, select the drum, then press "Record". There will be metronome bleeping sounds to help you hear the rhythm. (I highly recommend slowing down the tempo; it makes it a lot easier to record.) Press the space bar in the rhythm you want to record the rhythm. Questions? Leave a comment!
Wow! It's been a long time since I've last used Scratch... and it's changed! (sort of.) I used to LOVE making projects is Scratch when I was a younger kid, but I forgot about it for a few years. Recently, I was researching drum machines used in 1980s dance music and I got the idea to build my own drum machine - in Scratch! So now, as a nerdy 17-year-old high school junior, I have returned to Scratch to make a drum machine! I call this drum machine the SCR-1, meaning "Scratch" and that it's the first version. I've been thinking about other possible ideas for the recording mechanics, which could eventually become the SCR-2! As a bonus, I included samples from the long-discontinued LinnDrum LM-2, a drum machine from the early 1980s! (Its kick and snare were used in the song "Take On Me" by a-ha.) Enjoy!
