Doesn't work in firefox, console tells me

Uncaught TypeError: a.frequency.cancelAndHoldAtTime is not a function

Pretty fun in Chrome!

Also within ungoogled chromium, upon hitting the "stop" button, it seems to keep playing either an additional lower-volume track, or some long delayed echo....but hitting the "stop" button several times eventually stops playback. Even still, the concept is pretty neat!

Not only does this sound excellent, with three great TB-303 synth engines with a colored delay, but it's very musical. The three patterns are locked to a common scale/mode, they autogenerate with compatible and often interleaving polyrhythms, and the "instruments" - bass, lead, drone - spawn with complimentary defaults.

As a longtime synth nerd, it still amazes me to see beautiful tools like this running in a web browser.

Excellent job!

I agree that it's neat to have software synths that can run in the browser nowadays, but this isn't really a good TB-303 emulation. The accent doesn't have a slow enough attack to create the "wow" effect, which is a fundamental aspect of getting any random acid line to sound properly 303ish. Not to take away from what it is, but for a synth that has been cloned and emulated as often as the TB-303, your description is overselling it a bit.

Hey, I made this a few years ago. I'm suprised to see it posted here today. It was never finished and I was meaning to add a polyfill for the missing cancelAndHoldAtTime function for Firefox. Edit: I've just hacked in a quick polyfill

Fun. I love the UI style.
