I've been trying to build something like this last month or so. I was studying the source code of beepbox: https://github.com/johnnesky/beepbox Does anyone know if there is an easier, higher level abstraction library for audio backend? The approach in beepbox is rather low level and you can make really interesting sounds, with the trade-off being your backend being really complex (literal sound waves). I searched for MIDI output on web with sound font support but couldn't find anything helpful.
