lo-fi hip hop ruby - beats to relax/study to
summary
A small desktop app called Ruby Lo‑fi actually constructs chillhop loops by sequencing WAV samples with Ruby 2D for UI, ruby-audio for WAV manipulation and the beats gem for sequencing; it takes two–three months to prototype, is single‑threaded so loading and building blocks the UI, requires SoX and unzipping the sample folder, treats audio as large arrays at 44,100 samples/sec, supports 16‑step grids, swing, export and a Stitch combiner and is usable but borderline performant.
