The Pleasure of Tones: Microtonal Playground in Svelte
1 project | /r/sveltejs | 25 Jun 2022

Awesome! I used Svelte to make https://octavecompass.com which is a tool to explore musical scales and the chords they contain. It's currently limited to 12-TET, but I have been wanting for some time to generalize it to work with other tuning systems. I'd be excited to find ways to collaborate!

Thanks for pointing this out! I've noticed that too, but haven't gotten around to fixing it. It's helpful to hear that it's problematic for other people. I've opened this ticket to track progress on the issue: https://github.com/seancolsen/octave-compass/issues/80 Pull requests welcome! There are some notes in there pointing others to the relevant part of the code if anyone else wants to take a stab at fixing!

Web FM synthesizer made with HTML5
9 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 29 Oct 2023

Very neat, though I got prominent clicks and artifacts in both chrome and firefox.
If anyone's interested, some years ago I made a wrapper library for things like this, to wallpaper over the famously hairy WebAudio synthesis API. Basically you pass in a static object describing the audio graph and parameters you want, and the lib creates the WebAudio nodes and then cleans them up after the sound releases.

I work on this space a lot, and maintain a couple of libraries you might be interested in. They are very much focused on light quick "good enough" web audio music/sound effects.

You might try wasgen, which I maintain. Basically you pass it an object that describes your audio graph, and a frequency/duration/volume, and it creates/disposes all the audio nodes.

Making the sound program objects isn't trivial if you're unfamiliar with low-level audio, but the live demo has examples for all MIDI instruments: https://andyhall.github.io/wasgen/
