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()
