100% this. Because I'm a masochist, I let it run through 128 random slices. Took maybe 15 mins (wasn't timing or anything). Definitely deserved the payoff at the end to hear the whole thing.
>Coleman died homeless and destitute in 2006. It was unlikely he was aware of the impact he had made on music. Neither he [band leader Spencer] nor Coleman received royalties for the break.
Love that tune. Some of my personal favorites, amen andrews - jungle bunny, doc scott - here comes the drumz (breakage remix), loxy & ink - murder inc (twisted anger remix), pendulum - through the loop, dj hidden - times like these
Cool, but I don't see how it's sorting anything. It just seems to play a randomized arrangement of the slices. You can re-randomize as much as you like but there's no sort option as far as I can see.
It randomizes slices of the sample and begins to play the slices in the random order. Meanwhile it begins the bubble sort algorithm at a pace that matches the tempo, sorting the slices into their chronological order. Throughout, it only plays the unsorted slices. (I was kinda hoping it would play the sorted sample at the end.)
The idea is that it slices the Amen Break into however many slices you specify, and the list being sorted is the indices for those slices. At each step, it plays the slice the pivot is being compared to.
Because it only plays the samples being compared, it never plays the sorted chunks, so it's missing a "punchline" of sorts.
You're right. It doesn't play the sorted parts, which is strange. I expected to have a series of random-then-controlled slices with the random part getting shorter and the controlled part getting longer, but it really is just a shortening loop of random beats.
Did you play it to the end? It's absolutely sorting from smallest to largest. Unless you have a confused understanding of a bubble sort, it's doing a bubble sort
Yup, this is essentially what the original concept of the Jungle genre was built around. Chop up the Amen Break, mix the notes(?) around, repeat them as you see fit, and add other samples/vocals around the drum patterns you've created.
iOS seems to mute the web audio apis when the phone is in silent mode (the switch on the side of the phone). If you toggle it on, then this site (and many others) play sound.
I have no idea why it works this way and it’s frequently annoying.
I wish it'd play through the whole thing in order at the end

If you never play the original sample, you never have to worry about royalties.

The unshuffled song: https://youtu.be/qwQLk7NcpO4 :)
(Same here - though at least so I learned about the Amen Break.)
You don't know it by heart even yet, after all the time it's been in countless songs?
(the amen break is one of the most commonly-sampled drum breaks in popular music: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amen_break)
And a tragic story at that:

My personal prize for the most chopped amen goes to Breakage’s Final mix of Equinox’s Acid Rain VIP. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoKlz6_I4vY
I like Bruce Lee Mc by Quincy.

Nice pick! Above that same song but not compressed to hell
I like this one for amen stuff. Heavyweight Vol.4 - Untitled 7

Wow I've heard pieces of this but never the full thing, incredible
Hype for Equinox in Sheffield on Sat
Worlds colliding here.
We're dropping amen selections now?
Some classics that sound like what the app is sortin':
Remarc - Sound Murderer (Loafin' in Brockley Mix) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SUdpCVITxc
Splash - Babylon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vghx8SEeH8

Give it a minute or two.
That's a fun two minutes for any computer scientist drum and bass fan.
I can't help laughing. This is great.
I don't understand the comparison function, but it's really enjoyable listening to the algorithm work out its logic.
It's comparing the t value.
This deserves the top spot on the front page!
Might I ask for the implementation of other sorting algorithms here?
At first I didn't understand, but then I did.
Automatic chopping has existed for decades, popularised here: https://web.archive.org/web/20051225061044/http://www.cus.ca... https://github.com/mdsp/Livecut See also, dblue Glitch, chrisGlitch, Renoise
Yes, and on many samplers too. The linked website looks like a 'lite' version of the slicer on my Elektron Octatrack ;)
This afternoon I was getting the oil changed for my car, and while I was in the waiting room the Amen Break started playing from a nearby speaker.
If you aren’t familiar with the Amen Break, here’s a now classic 18 minute documentary on the Amen Break and its origins and evolution:

what is the y axis on that graph? what are we sorting?
Different bubble sort

Or types of sorts
Not playing it all the way through at the end is diabolical.
This is unreasonably fun.
It sounds like a Ventian Snares track. Love it.
tbh i expect it to be much more interesting if doing other kind of sorts
I would have expected it to be terrible to listen to, but it was pretty nice.

A couple favorites from the 90s:

This is bonkers and I love it.

No sound on iPhone. Shame Apple is so hostile to the web. Tragic really.
iOS seems to mute the web audio apis when the phone is in silent mode (the switch on the side of the phone). If you toggle it on, then this site (and many others) play sound.
I have no idea why it works this way and it’s frequently annoying.
I can hear it. Chrome on iOS 26.
-100 points for not having a volume slider.
Can someone explain the comparison function?
I need WebGL to play audio on HTML pages now?
it's an application built with webgl that plays audio, rather than just an audio player
Can we get an Amen quicksort now?
