Fixed!

Oh man, should have made this the default before posting! Lol

Great idea! Thanks I'm adding a tap-tempo to my list.

Wow that's fascinating. Maybe I could add similar visualizations at some point. Thanks for sharing that!

I hope to add a MIDI export soon. If you want audio, I think you could record the playback directly into a DAW.

Thanks for sharing the cute Kirby! I'm curious about the bug. Would you mind sharing what OS and browser you're on?

That's so cool! I'm glad it inspired you to accomplish what you have been putting off for ages. I do think an alternative and more visual/tactile experience can help some people approach music from a different prospective they might be accustomed to. There's definitely room for improvement. If you have any specific suggestions for your use case please let me know. Thanks for checking it out!

It should just work if you start tapping notes or press play. Make sure the phone's sound toggle is not muted. I'm not sure of any other reason it wouldn't work. Are you using Safari?

MIDI export seems to be the #1 request. I'll add it! Cheers.

Thanks! Yes getting Web Audio to play nice with iOS was tricky and it's still not perfect. I checked out Ambiph and it's fantastic! I love the clean UI and all of the customization options for soothing ambience. Well done.

Thanks for the input. I'm hoping a simple tutorial will help with finding the playback direction buttons. I'm not sure what to do about the fat-fingering problem. Maybe the controls could be bigger.

Time signatures is an idea that didn't occur to me. I'm adding it to the list. Thanks for that!

I plan to add midi export soon and I enjoyed your slow filter sweep. Cheers!

StreamGobbler | 1 year ago | on: Show HN: Draw.Audio – A musical sketchpad using the Web Audio API

A midi export is on the to-do list. Thanks for the input!

StreamGobbler | 1 year ago | on: Show HN: Draw.Audio – A musical sketchpad using the Web Audio API

You're right! It's a bug and I'll fix it :)

StreamGobbler | 1 year ago | on: Show HN: Draw.Audio – A musical sketchpad using the Web Audio API

Thanks for the kind words!

I just listened to Taswell for the first time. Great track! About recreating the melody, I don't think it would be possible because draw.audio doesn't have variable note lengths currently. Maybe that would be a nice addition in the future. Thanks for checking it out!

StreamGobbler | 1 year ago | on: Show HN: Draw.Audio – A musical sketchpad using the Web Audio API

That would be nice to have! For now, you can only move all notes together under the EDIT menu.

Good observation! You're absolutely right. I need to make a few of the sliders non-linear/logarithmic. I wouldn't want to simply decrease the range of the lowpass filter for example and lose the subtle higher frequencies. Thanks for the input.

It's really just Javascript and the Web Audio API. For the share links, I'm using Postgres on the backend to store the jsons. Pretty simple!
