Love it that they didn't only chop everything, analyzed it and offered people to download single items, but put a sequencer there as well as offering bulk downloads (basically sample packs). That you can filter by note + pitch is awesome too! Will be fun to play around with.<p>I'd love to have a volume slider though, because it does get a bit loud when dragging the mouse, so I don't have to turn down everything. Or even better, if every clip was also adjusted by perceived loudness (with a on/off toggle).<p>Edit: The following "end-of-residency retrospective" article was excellent too: <a href="https://citizen-dj.labs.loc.gov/retro/" rel="nofollow">https://citizen-dj.labs.loc.gov/retro/</a>
Creator of Citizen DJ here. I made this project almost 5 years ago during my residency at the Library of Congress. I had such a great experience, I actually work at the Library now. I am happy to answer any questions about any aspects of the project!
This is fantastic. I've got two samplers that I've just started building a sample library for (Korg Drumlogue and Teenage Engineering's KO II) This is exactly the kind of tool that will help me find interesting sounds. Great job.
This is fantastic.<p>My only qualm is in "browse" mode, I wish the clips were slightly longer. Or that holding down the mouse/trackpad kept playing the clip. As of now, and unless I'm doing it wrong, the clips are so short you only get the vaguest sense of their content.<p>That aside, really great work.
