However, the challenge comes when you do not have the skills or talent within your company to carry out the projects. On top of the tight schedules you might have as a startup, there’s no […]
In part eight, we’ll be adding a detune feature to the synthesizer. This will enable the user to make the oscillators slightly out of tune with each other which can add a cool dimension to the sound. This tutorial is part eight in a series that will show you how to create a virtual synthesizer […]
In part seven, we’ll be adding an another oscillator to the synthesizer. We’ll end up with two, but you can use this logic to add as many oscillators as you want. Having multiple oscillators creates a lot of sonic potential for the instrument. This tutorial is part seven in a series that will show you how […]
In part six, we'll be adding an amplitude envelope with a graphic visualizer and FL studio style knobs. This envelope will allow us to define attack, hold, decay, sustain, and release.
In part five we’ll restructure the gain staging in our synthesizer to prevent clipping using the Web Audio API’s DynamicsCompressorNode and GainNode . This will touch on some of the basics of dynamics processing. In the last post, we gave the user the ability to play multiple notes at once with the computer keyboard. However, […]
In part four, we’ll learn how to process computer keyboard input. This will enable users to play on the computer keyboard instead of clicking with their mouse. Here’s what we’ll cover in part four: Change how we add voices to the activeVoices object Add the key code to note map Create keyup/keydown EventListeners This tutorial […]
