==================

ON HOLD, waiting for an [AudioWorker](https://github.com/WebAudio/web-audio-api/issues/113) implementation to move forward. It turns out that creating multiple

ScriptProcessorNode's doesn't work too well.

Three algorithmic oscillators in parallel with three individual filters and a global filter.

## Roadmap

 - [x] Algorithmic oscillator (with octave, tuning, phasing, gain and stereo panning parameters).

 - [x] 4 arbitrary parameters with configurable name.

 - [x] ACE editor integration.

 - [x] General structure (3 oscillator > 1 filter per oscillator > 1 gain per voices > 1 global filter > gain).

 - [x] Making it a polyphonic.

 - [x] Making it work with Midi input.

 - [ ] Implementing Midi learning.

 - [ ] Hardcoded enveloppe.

 - [ ] Hardcode a few preset.

 - [x] Output saving as WAV.

 - [ ] Minimal UI : premature UI considerations are considered harmful (I just [made this up](http://modelviewculture.com/pieces/the-making-of-myths)).

## Extras & Future

 - [ ] Configurable enveloppe, global or per oscillators

 - [x] Flexible number of oscillators

 - [ ] Other types of oscillators (basic waveform, handdrawn, ... may be too off topic)

 - [ ] Allow drag&dropping a sound file on a oscillator to be able to use its data in the algorithm.

 - [ ] Saving custom presets.

 - [ ] Making it visually appealing.

 - [ ] Support modulation events

 - [ ] Support pitch wheel events

 - [ ] Support sustain events

 - [ ] Support polyphonic after touch events

 - [ ] Selection of the MIDI channel controlling the synth (currently omni)

 - [ ] Scala support

 - [ ] Follow the development of [Audio Workers](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Audio_API#Audio_Workers)

## Motivations

 * The flexibility of algorithmic synthesis.

 * Making a case for web-(and javascript)-based audio application for my employers and coworkers.

 * Making a test case for the unstable [Aural.js](https://github.com/kchapelier/Aural.js) and for the MIDI learning ability of [SMI](https://github.com/kchapelier/SimpleMidiInput.js).
