A multiplayer sound design tool. Fully browser-based with true peer-to-peer networking, SoundFont export, and live cursors/chat so you can shape patches with others in real time. Comes with a real synth engine: 5-shape oscillator, resonant filter, full ADSR amp envelope, and an LFO routable to filter or amp for evolving, moving sounds.
Real-time multiplayer on a synth sounds like the hard part. How are you handling latency when two people play at once, is it locked to a host clock or does everyone hear their own timing? I've been messing with Kontakt and Maschine solo for years so someone jumping into the same patch sounds like a blast.
This is cool! Adding a second oscillator and making both oscillators tunable would be a relatively simple addition that could add more depth the synth voice.
the SoundFont export is what pushes this past "cute weekend demo" for me, most collaborative synth toys leave you with nothing once the tab closes but this actually gives you something to drop into a real DAW afterward. love that it started as just messing around with friends
Tried making a pad with a friend and the live cursors actually made it feel like we were tweaking the same knob at the same time. The peer-to-peer setup held up well too, no lag spikes even when both of us were automating the filter cutoff.
