If anyone wants to play with it there's a live demo here: https://fr0stbyter.github.io/jspatcher/dist/?projectZip=../e...

Most of the files seem to be presentation slides, only a few play any audio.

very nice, about time we make music on the web! Hope one day we can get a powerful app like Ableton Live but on web and open source.

JSPatcher is similar to Max/MSP. Even the UI design is a blatant ripoff.

There are already full blown online DAWs like BandLab, Soundation, Amped Studio etc.

> the UI design is a blatant ripoff

It follows the design patterns of many node-based programming environments, so to call it a ripoff of Max/MSP is unfairly harsh. The theme in the second half of the video looks a lot closer to VVVV than Max.

I'm unable to scroll the page.

I'm on Windows 10, Firefox Developer Edition 90.0b12. Is anyone facing the same issue?

Some JS seems to hijack the native scroll behaviour. The same on Manjaro Linux Firefox 89.0.1.

I'm not well-versed enough into "modern" web stack to troubleshoot, but there is something wrong with the scrolling on their website. Doesn't inspire much confidence into web audio. I'm not entirely sure why browser would be a good fit for an audio synth plateform, to say the least.

Faust is nice tho, a combinator language with stream processor semantics. There are lots of things to improve (quality of life things for organizing code, more typing, better semantics for the surface language which currently is ugly macro expansion where it could've been a simple lisp or even better a mini-ML), but it's also currently one of the best thing in town for functional synthesis.
