This is brilliant! I'm gonna use it to prototype synths for my drum patterns/bass lines website.

Just in case you scrolled past it, the live demo was in the github website link:

THese all sound awful. I don't get it.

I think the idea is that you can use this to build synths that you then control woth midi, etc

Would this also work for adding effects to existing audio? A simple reverb and pitch bend on a recorded vocal would make me a lot more excited than experimental synth effects.

Hmm seems like the jQuery of Web Audio API? How are the browser support on mobile?

Edit: with a bit pure data flavor mixed in... super nice!

This is wonderful - a very immediate and intuitive way to construct and create audio graphs!

Interesting library with a rather weird name.

Its just social engineering to make people who drop their phones get involved in audio creation.

Would love to plug this into https://synthia.app

Nice app!

This is super cool, Im definitely gonna mess around with it for my own synth experiments!

Can it handle "nodes" that emit a different number of audio samples than they consume?

I'm thinking of time stretch effects like mine https://github.com/bungee-audio-stretch/bungee

I find the underlying premise a bit odd. I can name values in Javascript just fine:

const whatever = ...

I would rather refer to them by these names than by strings. It's both faster and safer to do so.
