  • Sharing mechanism is useful

    From 1 comment
    • This is great! I especially like that you've included a share mechanism. I built an audio dsp playground before, but didn't spend enough time on it to provide that. Are you going…

  • Browser-based tools not ready for production music use

    From 1 comment

Requests

  • MIDI input support

    From 1 comment
    • Sorry for the dumb question as I'm not in the field, but is this meant for actual midi/audio in? I tried clicking the keys on the midi to no avail, so I would assume I would use…

  • Piano roll for melodies

    From 1 comment
    • Looks great! Any chance of adding a piano roll for playing short melodies(and perhaps chords with the proper processor)?

Questions

  • What the Audio Worklet API is and how it works

    From 1 comment

  • Whether Audio Worklet is a standard

    From 1 comment
    • Just to be clear, Audio Worklet is not "a standard spec". It's an earlyish-stage spec proposal which might well change as it goes through the standardization process.

Alternatives named

  • Open Sound Control (osc.js)

    From 1 comment
    • Have you considered using Open Sound Control[0]? There is a nice JS package for it. I've put together a couple demo web apps using OSC as both client and server. Bonuses include…

  • JSFiddle-style playgrounds

    From 1 comment
    • In short, Audio Worklet is a new API which allows you to write code to generate or modify an audio signal in real time. The key point is that it runs in a separate browser…
