https://floor-framer-60137313.figma.site My Figma Make entry is a minimal drum machine called Ear Hustle.

I made this to quickly capture rhythm ideas. My goal was to create something that works for beginners and seasoned producers alike.

Features:

• 🎲 Genre-adapting random pattern generator

• 🥁 Step sequencer & drum machine

• 🧰 Five unique drum kits (more coming)

• 🎛️ Effects: reverb, delay, & low-pass filter

• 📤 MIDI export

The process is simple: shake the dice to generate a random pattern, load a drum kit, experiment and export. I designed it for building structured grooves or discovering unexpected variations. Manual or mayhem! Your choice.

Best on desktop. Scroll on mobile. This is an evolving project with more features planned.

@Ryan Spence this is great for quickly getting ideas or getting inspired to start somewhere and create around it. There’s a lot of flexibility here. Also very easy on the eye and doesn’t feel intimidating. I know enough tech to make it work and at the same time it doesn’t look like a toy.
