I would like to thank everyone for the kind words. You guys are absolutely amazing! In my wildest expectations, I didn&#x27;t see such a warm response and wide audience. Thank you!<p>I am sure there are people who deserve that much and more attention, but aren&#x27;t getting it, so I would like to say something to you guys, working tirelessly, day in and day out, on your projects - keep doing what you love!<p>I am not always talking about synthesizers or music, but you can follow me in these places:<p><pre><code> * Twitter: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;@NikolayTsenkov * Ello: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ello.co&#x2F;tsenkov * Facebook: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;facebook.com&#x2F;NikolayTsenkov </code></pre> I am also looking into job opportunities (or even if you just want to connect) so here is my LinkedIn: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;bg.linkedin.com&#x2F;pub&#x2F;nikolay-tsenkov&#x2F;38&#x2F;754&#x2F;955" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;bg.linkedin.com&#x2F;pub&#x2F;nikolay-tsenkov&#x2F;38&#x2F;754&#x2F;955</a><p>Cheers!

I find the quality of the Synth amazing. Over the years I have tried out many Synth plugins for Reason 5 e.g. and I have never come across one, in which all the settings sound sooo good. I instantly wanna compose something with it. Good job @author!

That&#x27;s a very cool piece of work! I recorded a brief demo using a MIDI controller - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=ZU8FE9xLBdM" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=ZU8FE9xLBdM</a> and the lack of latency is fantastic.<p>Question - is it possible to do polyphonic sounds?

I just recently looked at the Web Audio API and the Google Moog Doodle (<a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.google.com&#x2F;doodles&#x2F;robert-moogs-78th-birthday" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.google.com&#x2F;doodles&#x2F;robert-moogs-78th-birthday</a>) and I&#x27;m seriously impressed by what you did there. Congrats, Sir, keep up the good work!

My first impression was that this was rendered with WebGL, and I couldn&#x27;t believe that this could be done with web. Kudos!<p>I didn&#x27;t think this was possible, since audio editing was long claimed to be a desktop only solution (VST, Juce, Cubase, ProTools).<p>Very cool indeed!<p>(And good learning material for me, an ex game C++ tools developer -&gt; web backend&#x2F;frontend java&#x2F;gwt now).

The filter does not appear to keytrack, thus it gets more or less powerful depending on which notes you play(this is sometimes desirable but usually not).<p>It is possible to make the filter hoot at low cutoff and maximum emphasis.

Sounds incredible. Would be awesome if you could add an arpeggiator or basic step sequencer. It&#x27;s a bit difficult to fiddle with the nobs while pressing down the keys.

Latency seems quite low! Seems to sound quite good too from my laptop speakers :) WELL DONE!<p>Is latency known &#x2F; have you measured?

This is an inspirational thing to see on the web. My, we&#x27;ve come a long way. Thank you for bringing this all together.<p>How are the waveforms rendered? Are these few or single cycle samples? I noted that, with slight detuning, I was getting inconsistent tracking for the detuning. Higher notes yields wider pitch differences than lower notes.<p>I was unable to get consistent results with really short envelopes. e.g. 0-4-0-0 AEnv for percussive sounds or synth blips. Similarly, fast filter envelope.<p>Would you be able to consider an alternate data entry? e.g. Toggle a mode where you can type parameter values in vs. using the sliders &amp; knobs?<p>I pulled it up on my Surface Pro 3 and, with some zoom, could play it via touchscreen. It would be nice to be able to get bigger keys, touch spots, etc.<p>Definitely the sort of thing that makes me want to see it grow and continue. Excellent work. Keep it up!

Good job! I&#x27;d add a social patch sharing, record buffer, and upload-to-soundcloud as your next priorities - this is as good as many starter softsynth plugins, so make the most of it and become a fixture in the inevitable Web DAW paradigm.

Great work. You should totally bake that into an installable chrome app. Hit me up if you need any help ;)

Eventually someone builds a DAW... Well, I wouldn&#x27;t expect native performance, but imagine the power of having a open javascript interface! Hope something interesting come out of this...

Heh, you can create layers by opening multiple tabs.

While I think this is nice work, it&#x27;s a shame it can&#x27;t be plugged into a DAW. A nice toy but kinda useless for some of us
