Heeey, glad you asked!

I'm not full-time on this, but I'm trying to build an OSS DAW. Here is a first tiny demo: https://timdaub.github.io/wasm-synth/

I also wrote about it: https://timdaub.github.io/2020/02/19/wasm-synth/

I'm not sure what you think a DAW is, but typically it tends to involve the possibility of dealing with large numbers of tracks and vast amounts of audio. How do you propose to do this in a browser context?

At this point I don't propose any design. But I'm confident it can be done.

You seem to know the challenges ahead. Mind sharing?

Just had a lot of fun playing this! Thanks for sharing. I've been working on a wavetable synth VST, but also have been looking at web APIs to do something similar to this. Thanks for the write up.

Hey thanks! I was actually experimenting with web GL to build a similar instrument as Ableton's wave table! But I'm not full time, so it's taking forever...

I know how that goes, best of luck!
