Synthetic are ripped from this file: http://d2c3nvafyekx5z.cloudfront.net/soundfonts/piano.oga

It's surprising how seamless it works. This would be the sort of thing 18-24 months ago that we'd argue Flash would hold over traditional web. Not anymore.

EDIT: With a bit of JS and audio hacking you could actually replace the synthetic sounds with something from here: http://soundfonts.homemusician.net/ I'm sure they plan to add additional "soundfonts" as they call them later on. Can only assume that piano works best.

Yes, you're exactly right about how it works. We'll be adding other soundfonts soon. Piano worked the best for launch, but it'd definitely be better with instrument-appropriate sounds.

Indeed we've created a web app that plays a playlist On multiple devices in sync using the web audio API.

It works in iOS and in any modern version of chrome.
