You discovered the secret ambient mode :D

Browsers reduce the number of timed events in background tabs and windows, and it makes sense that the webapp relies on timers to trigger the changes.

On his autotracker page, he mentions that Safari doesn't follow the webaudio spec as well as chromium or firefox. Might be related to that.

I already started using it as background for my work :)

Can't really use it in Firefox on Windows, the drum track isn't synced to the synths.
