What a great toy. Wish there was a way to feed it text from the Library of Babel so we'd get an idea of the sick beats the librarians dance to while trapped in their endless hexes.

I put in a few of the improbable words from the Library and this one turned out well: chaotic but mellow

you can use the "|" to put a pause...

Comma also works.

Didn't work in Firefox 37.0.2 for me, but did in Chrome latest. Nice though, thanks! EDIT: Forgot to mention; on Linux (Ubuntu 14.04)

Firefox 37.0.2 worked for me on Arch Linux.

OK so basically we have 26 sounds (http://typedrummer.com/audio/[a-z].mp3), an accel marker '(' (only 1 scale?), and a decelerator ')' (only 1 scale?). Anything else?

And since everyone feels like sharing his own crap, I'm doing it as well http://typedrummer.com/j5c05o

Edit: it's funny how Firefox (37) gets completely insane when it hasn't the focus on the tab anymore

You're about to disrupt Roland business. Brace yourself.

Well, those are major words... IMO it won't be that easy or soon. Roland, Moog, NI, Steinberg, etc, are light years ahead of web audio. The web audio API direction is good and really promising tho.

I'm really excited about a combo of Node/websockets (real-time), NW.js/Electron (GUI), Emscripten/ASM.js (reusing audio libs) and Web Audio API. Amazing things can come out of this.
