rack

An arpeggiator driving an FM voice, and a JAM band you can solo over in any key.

rack is a single-page browser instrument with two modes. ARP drives a monophonic FM synth voice from a step sequencer. JAM is a practice band with bass, chords and drums playing real progressions over selectable grooves. The harmony uses scale-relative roman numerals, so you can solo in any key, and a fretboard ring shows the next change. The engine is tuned to stay under Firefox's render-thread deadline. One codebase builds the web, desktop and mobile versions.
