One-Line Strudel Code for a TR-909 Drum Groove

Read Articleadded Nov 11, 2025

A minimalist post shares a Strudel live-coding snippet that sequences a TR-909 drum pattern. It alternates hi-hats over a bass drum, doubles pattern density, and shortens the decay. A Mastodon link points to Strudel’s community.

Key Points

  • Shows a one-line Strudel code snippet for generating a drum pattern.
  • Uses the TR-909 sample bank via bank("tr909").
  • Combines bass drum with alternating hi-hat/open-hat: bd <hh oh>.
  • Multiplies the pattern density with *2 and sets a short decay (dec(0.4)).
  • Links to Strudel’s Mastodon for further exploration/community.
