Great job putting all this together! Brings back memories.

Out of curiosity I downloaded a .mid file to compare it with my local timidity install. The quality of the later is way better (I installed it from brew)... It sounds like it either use a better SoundFont or midi effects (like reverb) are not working properly on the site?

Is it just me? Not complaining, just mentioning it.

You're right. Reverb sounds way better with the version of timidity available on Homebrew. I noticed that brew is installing TiMidity++ (http://timidity.sourceforge.net/) instead of libTiMidity (http://libtimidity.sourceforge.net/) which is what I ported to WebAssembly. I'll look into the differences between the two, but if anyone knows more please share.
