This project demonstrates writing music in Javascript. In the beginning I used NodeJS with MIDI to control a synth, and then got into 4klang which is a very compact but extremely powerful synth, which finally inspired me to atttempt writing a synth in WebAssembly running entirely in the browser.
This is a live-coding environment for music running entirely in the browser, synthesizing music in webassembly using AssemblyScript.
Sources are in the wasmaudioworklet folder.

And there are more videos that can be seen here:

This is all very much work in progress. More stuff coming soon....
My experiments with the 4klang synth can be found int the 4klang folder.

My first attempt on writing music with Javascript used NodeJS with MIDI routed to ZynAddSubFX for the sounds

Run directly from nodejs, only dependes on the node midi package, and connect to a midi device.
