New chord progression generator website— It is both an excellent ear trainer, and tool for musical inspiration and harmonic experimentation!
I don't know which library you're using, but I use Elementary Audio for my audio projects. This looks like a great fit.

I'm a beginner audio programmer, can you suggest books to learn DSP with javascript or in alternative agnostic from any language?
Well I m a js dev in life, I recently discovered this library https://www.elementary.audio/, which at first stable release does a pretty good job, I did little experiments and it seems pretty promising
- Elementary Audio: a modern platform for writing high performance audio software
- Elementary - a modern platform for writing high performance audio software that helps you build quickly and ship confidently (they just hit v1.0.0)
- Finally, write audio apps in JavaScript

Is anyone else astonished at how we now have full-fledged Photo Editors and Word Processors on the web?
And check out this new native audio implementation with JS !!! https://www.elementary.audio/

Ask HN: Introduction to Analog Synthesizers (Simulation OK)
Great recommendations in here, and I'm happy to see this thread getting such attention!
This is totally a shameless self-plug, but I think it could be interesting for you:
I'm working on a project called Elementary Audio [1] which is a javascript runtime + framework for writing native audio software. It's like the Web Audio API in that it's javascript+audio, but unlike Web Audio in that it aims to target true native audio apps, like plugins for your DAW or hardware projects.
The API that it offers feels to me very much like thinking and working in analog synths, which is why I think you might find it interesting. You can describe and wire up signals and just see what they sound like without having to worry about what needs to happen under the hood for you to hear it.
I put together a guide for dipping your toes into making sound [2] and you'll find there a bunch of other resources that I recommend for getting into the topic.
I should note too that it's currently in beta and only supports macos and linux (windows coming soon!)

Functional, Declarative Audio Applications
Funny you should say that :) I'm currently building a small drum synth, will share it as soon as its ready.
In the mean time, check out https://github.com/nick-thompson/elementary for some examples that you can `npm install && npm start` to hear

Ask HN: Comment here about whatever you're passionate about at the moment
> It’s haven’t bought any Modular’s yet but I’m really looking forward to getting into other on the new year.

The former is libre and gratis, runs as a standalone or plugin and in the browser!! and is based on the latter.
Ther former has a libre and gratis standalone version, the plugin version is non-gratis.

Ask HN: Whats the modern day equivalent of 80s computer for kids to explore?
A music synthesizer. It's a pathway to learning electronics, music, and the nature of sound. There are cheap kits, cheap synths, lots of kinds of synths, and there are much more complicated and expensive systems you can grow into. You can get software synths also, VCV Rack is a free though complex one:
https://vcvrack.com/
However I'd recommend an inexpensive hardware one with real knobs you can turn, like one of the Korg Volca series:
https://www.korg-volca.com/en/
Recording the sounds can lead into exploring all the concepts and gear involved in recording and mixing music. It's not mutually exclusive with doing other things also, you can play with both synths and computers and being involved with something artistic can add dimensions to and an escape from the nature of classwork/work.
Some other suggestions: gardening, high voltage electronics (with lots of supervision), electronics, photography, movie making, ham radio (gnu radio), show lighting systems (there's more than disco lights, robotics is involved), robotics, acoustic instruments (guitar, piano, flute, drums), sensors (you don't necessarily have to know electronics, get a data logger with built in sensors), weather monitoring/forecasting, hydraulic systems (with supervision), wood working, metal working, 3D printing, bird watching, painting, minibikes/small engines.

I love synthesizers, but I suck at synthesis and sound design?
What really opened my eyes was the Nord Micromodular; it taught me what I just described. It showed me how limited other synths were - but that limitation was a trade-off because it's much faster to make something on a fixed-structure synth than on a modular, in most cases. Nowadays, you can use https://vcvrack.com/ instead of a small limited box that needs Windows 98 to run the editor on.
- Should I pull the trigger?

Long time Cubase user who is leaving a more traditional electronic workflow to modular hardware... Bitwig seems to be the DAW more for this style possibly? Any opinions first hand?
Also I would suggest the paid version of VCV rack which works as a VST too ( the free version is just stand alone ) Expecially when experimenting with modular ( believe me, it can save you a fortune whilst you learn what different modules do ) I would also recommend Omri Cohens Youtube channel for learning this too.
