#2Neat! I was looking into wavTones[0] recently but will have to give this a look. (A comparison might be nice)

#3Very cool. Look forward to playing with it this weekend ;)
Regarding WebRTC. Combined with net latency. Can we build an online "jamming" demo?

#4One interesting thing to me about Tone.js has always been that their “Transport” API is a more reliable interval/timer tool than any of the native JS APIs or even libraries/polyfills designed around more accurate interval timing. I’d almost be surprised if I wasn’t wrong about this but I searched and couldn’t find anything quite comparable.

#5I used this to prototype algorithms for a polyrythmic midi sequencer I'm working on. It's really a dream to use. If only using midi on low end hardware was this easy.

It has sample-level precision, just like the Web Audio API provided by the browser (which is what's used under the hood). It's pretty much independent of non-audio time APIs.

#7I used Tone.js to create my music theory website https://www.lightnote.co/
Using recordings from my guitar (of each and every note) I was able to build an interactive fretboard that could play guitar tabs/chords. Also the Transport API made it simple to build a drum looping machine very quickly.
Ableton has built something similar, also using Tone.js: https://learningmusic.ableton.com/make-beats/make-beats.html
Performance on mobile leaves a lot to be desired. I found there was considerable lag.

Just tried https://www.lightnote.co/ . Thank you for making it, I really love it.

#9We used tone.js to create https://musicblocks.sugarlabs.org
Tone.js is really good at doing things related to music.
We were able to build a scratch type programming language for music, so that kids could learn programming and music at the same time.

#10Tone.js is such a great framework and fun to work with! I was incredibly quick putting together a generative music piece, especially because the online docs for Tone.js are the best I’ve worked with. Would love to play a lot more around with it
