I wish it'd play through the whole thing in order at the end

(the amen break is one of the most commonly-sampled drum breaks in popular music: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amen_break)

Cool, but I don't see how it's sorting anything. It just seems to play a randomized arrangement of the slices. You can re-randomize as much as you like but there's no sort option as far as I can see.

My personal prize for the most chopped amen goes to Breakage’s Final mix of Equinox’s Acid Rain VIP. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoKlz6_I4vY

I can't help laughing. This is great.

I don't understand the comparison function, but it's really enjoyable listening to the algorithm work out its logic.

This deserves the top spot on the front page!

Might I ask for the implementation of other sorting algorithms here?

If you aren’t familiar with the Amen Break, here’s a now classic 18 minute documentary on the Amen Break and its origins and evolution:

That's a fun two minutes for any computer scientist drum and bass fan.

Automatic chopping has existed for decades, popularised here: https://web.archive.org/web/20051225061044/http://www.cus.ca... https://github.com/mdsp/Livecut See also, dblue Glitch, chrisGlitch, Renoise

Not playing it all the way through at the end is diabolical.

It sounds like a Ventian Snares track. Love it.

-100 points for not having a volume slider.

I would have expected it to be terrible to listen to, but it was pretty nice.

This is bonkers and I love it.

Can someone explain the comparison function?

No sound on iPhone. Shame Apple is so hostile to the web. Tragic really.

I need WebGL to play audio on HTML pages now?
