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

THese all sound awful. I don't get it.
promiseofbeans•3h ago
I think the idea is that you can use this to build synths that you then control woth midi, etc
DrSiemer•2h ago
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!
gitroom•2h ago
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
