I wrote this guest post on the expo blog about what it was like to build my first native app — a flexible, offline media library — as someone with a web dev background.

FWIW redux-form v6 changes this: https://github.com/erikras/redux-form/releases I've been using redux-form in large production app, btw, and have mostly found it nice, but am looki…

I implemented local caching for all the API calls, so it shouldn't be exceeding the rate limit as much now, plus load times should generally be quicker.

FYI for anyone still coming in, this has been up and down all day due to the fact that Uber's API is rate limited to 1000 requests/hour. I contacted support and asked for an increa…

Yes! Tis truly an exciting time to be playing synthesizers on the web!

Hm, yeah, that would be a cool thing to publish separately. The MIDI mapping code is pretty much isolated to these two objects [1] [2], but I'd have to do a little thinking about h…

Very cool, thanks for sharing!

Well, the real 106 doesn't have an arpeggiator either (without mods anyway) -- only the 6/60 do. I don't think it'd be too hard to implement one though, so I may do that soon.

If you have links to other websynths with similar "MIDI learn" functionality, I'd love to see them!

Ha, thank you Paul! Glad to know it's probably not my fault ;)

There are lots of websynths that respond to MIDI note messages, and I've seen some that respond to CCs as well -- e.g. the midi-synth [1] by Chris Wilson (editor of the WebAudio an…

In Firefox the envelope release is broken, and overall performance seems worse compared to Chrome, for reasons I haven't really bothered to investigate deeply. It mostly works in S…

Re the 0-127 range, you may be familiar with this, but many devices are capable of sending 14-bit MIDI messages by combining 2 different MIDI CCs, allowing for much finer control. …

Ha! I dunno, what occurs to me is how cool it is that we can still get so much use out of MIDI, a standard adopted in 1983.
