A drum tracker ...in your browser?!?
YES
Courtesy of jquery, jqueryUI, the html5 <audio>
tag, and browsers that implement it. That would be:
- Safari 4
- Firefox 3.5
- Chrome nightly (?)
- Opera (supports audio JS API, but not the audio tag ?)
- Internet Explorer 8 has no audio support whatsoever (barring Silver-Light™ and Flash®-Technology!)
More about the current audio capabilities of browsers:
git clone git://github.com/ratbeard/html5drums.git
cd html5drums
open out/index.html # on
Firefox is a little slow for this, especially with firebug open -- Webkit works better.
get crazy!:
$.drum.sound('bass').addpip()
