Description
 

Windrum is a drum machine for Windows. It also has minor support for generating TB-303 like sounds. The public (GNU-licence) 3MU sound generation source code is used for the TB-303 sound generation.

The program is extremely simple to use, but as the version number suggests, has not been finished yet. You simply select a drum sound from the menus and click in the circle grid to make them play. You can edit drums during playback and adjust the volume and pan of a drum "row". The load and save menu options do not work but it automatically renders a 44.1KHz stereo raw pcm wave file (test.pcm) to the programs directory which can be opened in most sample editors such as Cool Edit and Sound Forge.

The program has no manual, but the author mentions following keyboard commands on his web page. Keys a-z select a pattern and SHIFT a-z overwrites a pattern with the active pattern. It also mentions that if you generate TB-303 sounds then you should turn down the VCF-amount first.

You can also e-mail the author to request a copy of the source code.
