If you are on macOS, download the .mid file and open it in Garageband and listen for how much (free!) MIDI synthesis has improved.

Beautiful!

Also, it’s so unexpected to see this text-style UI scroll smoothly or update the progress bar smoothly.

What is playing this back? When using the inspector, I see it actually downloads the .mid file. I didn't grant Chrome access to my MIDI devices (not that I'd have any connected) and it was still playing the audio.

Is it playing it back with some internal samples and a playback feature, relaying it to the OS, or is this a Javascript player?

Oh wait, I just turned on the Visualizer, which makes me think that this is all done in Javascript, including the audio rendering?

For people trying to play this in Safari: reload the page if you get no sound. I’ve some experience with safari on mobile and wasm. Audio is unfortunately quite wonky.
