HTML5 Online Synths

HTML5 and Javascript Synthesizer from Corban Brook on Vimeo.

"A synthesizer running in a modified version of firefox (minefield)."

In-browser Synthesizer and Sequencer with Envelope and Filter control from Corban Brook on Vimeo.

"My latest processing.js demo using David Humphrey's experimental Firefox build. This demo uses my new javascript dsp library PJSAudiio github.com/corbanbrook/pjsaudio

PJSAudio Oscillator module generates a signal which is sent through a Low Pass Filter and ADSR Envelope and then written to the soundcard through the HTML 5 audio tag."

HTML5 Audio with Realtime Javascript Low Pass Filter from Corban Brook on Vimeo.

"Uses a modified version of Firefox which allows for reading and writing of raw audio data.

Reads from first (muted) audio tag, passes through a low pass IIR Filter (implemented in Javascript), and then Writes processed signal to a second audio tag, all in real time, frame by frame."

Bloop HTML5 Instrument inspired by Brian Eno's Bloom from Bocoup on Vimeo.

"This is a demonstration of a simple touch screen video instrument by Al MacDonald (twitter.com/f1lt3r). The instrument is built using the Firefox web browser with no plug ins, inspired by Brian Eno's Bloom application available on iPhone.

We used Firefox's Audio Data API to generate tones with JavaScript and push them to the audio stream of the sound card. The circles on the screen respond to touch events and are rendered using the Canvas element.

Thanks to NotMasterYet & Corban Brook for great tweaks to buffering code."

WebGL HTML5 JavaScript Beat Detection from Bocoup on Vimeo.

"WATCH THE SMALL X GROW!!!

ther great demo from Charles Cliffe (twitter.com/ccliffe) using the Audio Data API in Firefox analyze a live audio stream to detect the beat in JavaScript. Watch JavaScript lock in to the beat and turn the WebGL cogs in time with the music. Yes... the web is *this* awesome!

Baroque Variations - Roland MC-202 and Fairlight CVI Video

YouTube via itisnick.

"Early set of video variations set to the music of J. S. Bach. Avoid food or beverages."

via ニコラス・ケント on AH:
"The Roland MC-202 originally came with a data cassette containing some Bach and Debussy 2-part demo sequences. I guess you could practice you own cut rate Carlos and Tomita interpretations with them.

Anyway way back when I wanted to test out the tape sync and layered the Roland MC-202's onboard synth a couple times to fill out the sound by recording the two parts a couple times each with different MC-202 synth patches. So thatr's where the music came from.

All 3, but especially the second piece has audio distortion (unintentional) but hey, it's real analog distortion ;-).

Then as a separate project I wanted to run a Fairlight CVI (Computer Video Instrument) through it's paces. So that's where the video comes from. Blame 1980s Aussie technology ;-) The chroma keying by the way is done by an analog Grass Valley switcher. You can't get keys like that out of a CVI."
