this is utterly amazing. whoever the programmer is, holler at me, I'd love to help you make it a collaborative realtime beat-making engine, i.e. so people can contribute to the same song at the same time. I'm sure you've already thought about this. It's about time for a javascript collaborative beat-making engine to take off, especially with midi support on the horizon or here already (i forget).

First of all, this is awesome!

Maybe my ears are messed up, but I seem to be hearing that the "Keys" sounds are interrupting each other, in a way that none of the other sounds seem to do. That is, if you play two of them simultaneously, only one will be heard. If you play one a fraction behind another the first will be preempted. Normally the "Keys" sounds have a lovely sustain, so this disappoints.

This is on Chrome 47.0.2526.110.

Not the programmer but collaborative beat making would be absolutely amazing.

Yep, same for the 808's. They are super fat chords and wouldn't work at the same time. I set it up that way to keep everything in tune :)
