wasm-synth

A synthesizer built from scratch in C++ and made available on the web
through WebAssembly.

Prerequisites

The following tools are required for spinning up a local instance of WASM
SYNTH. Click on the links to view the installation manuals:

• emscripten (emcc version 1.39.0)
• rollupjs

Docs & Blog post

My previous goal with this project was to learn audio programming. I wrote
about it in this blog post.
Since until then, a cambrian
explosion
of webassembly-based browser languages have appeared, I’m currently trying to
make WASM SYNTH work properly again.

Compatibility

Since it seems that many browsers-vendors are arbitrarily changing APIs these
days, I’m gonna keep track of WASM SYNTHs compatability here.

c4379418bc1cfe116dbf6bc51e25a42fdaa9c6f3|✓ 81.0|✓ 76.0|✗ 13.0.4|✓ 1.8.86|

How are we currently testing?

• npm run dev and open the displayed site in one of the above browsers
• Hit some notes on your keyboard or by pressing with the mouse
• Toggle some UI elements (e.g. toggle off an oscillator)

I know how to improve/automate testing!

That’s great! Any feedback or help is welcome! Please get in touch!
