Cieplak has multiple hardware and software projects but this is his first\u00a0drum machine\u00a0built for the web.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use the browser-based ER-99 drum machine by pressing the number buttons on your computer keyboard. \u201cTurn the knobs to change the sound of each instrument,\u201d reads the ER-99\u2019s description.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe 16 buttons at the bottom show the sequence for each instrument. Click once to activate a step, and click again to add an accent (indicated by a brighter light). The emphasis of the accented notes is controlled by the \u2018Accent\u2019 knob,\u201d it adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Happy 9\/09 Day!
