DOMStep: Audio Synthesis, AI and a JavaScript Dance Party
summary
A live browser dubstep band is built using the Web Audio API (AudioContext, oscillators, biquad filters, gain nodes) plus buffer loading and scheduled play via the API clock; beats are sequenced with beats.js, visuals use flocking style particle simulation, wob is done by modulating a gain node with a second oscillator, and a crowd-recorded vocal (“undefined is not a function”) is captured to a buffer. The demo mostly works on audience laptops though there are a few timing and coordination glitches.
