Very cool! I love seeing all the stuff people are building with web audio. It would be great to have a way at some point to use web-based VST's in popular DAWs.

In a similar vein, I made a simple collaborative beat sequencer with some friends for the Node Knockout awhile back.

It just uses samples for playback since web audio wasn't a thing back then but I'm working on porting it over to doing full synthesis in the browser.

FYI- You need to invite friends to join in with you as each person can only control a single track. Or just join in multiple tabs and play by yourself ;)

Hey now, I'm as dizzy as anyone at all the free music-making tools from the Interwebs, but lets be honest .. "web audio" isn't much more than "browser audio" in the context of the DAW landscape, though, isn't it? i.e. giving the DOM access to OS-provided audio services is one thing, doing real audio processing locally .. still kinda relevant, no?

I mean, yeah .. some DAW's are better than other, but give me native for this, or gtfo, kthxbai ..

This is amazing!
