webaudio-tinysynth
A lightweight General MIDI (GM) mapped synthesizer engine and MIDI player built with WebAudio API, generating sounds algorithmically without PCM samples.
What is webaudio-tinysynth?
webaudio-tinysynth is a lightweight JavaScript synthesizer engine and MIDI player that uses the WebAudio API to generate General MIDI (GM) compatible sounds algorithmically, without relying on pre-recorded samples. It solves the need for a self-contained, dependency-free audio synthesis solution in web applications, enabling MIDI playback and interactive sound generation directly in the browser.
Web developers and creators building music applications, interactive audio experiences, or educational tools that require MIDI playback or real-time sound synthesis in the browser without heavy dependencies.
Developers choose webaudio-tinysynth for its simplicity, small footprint, and flexibility—it works as a standalone library or a CustomElement, supports both headless and GUI use, and generates all sounds algorithmically, eliminating the need for external sample files.
