@errozero: I made a synth with web audio/midi based on your synth engine a few years ago:

Adding a keyboard, scale selection, oscilloscope, score note viewer, sound font player, bluetooth/web midi controller detection, etc :)

Did you decide on a license for your synth code?

Cool, I like the split keyboard feature. I've not really thought about a license tbh, I'll look into which one would be best and add a note about that. I don't really mind what anyone does with it so maybe MIT would be the one.

Cool. Great to meet you virtually, btw. Your web audio synth is awesome. Adding the oscilloscope made me appreciate how your different patches generate their unique sounds. And I added a few preset patches I liked too.

Umh, why don't the F or H keys work?

Because of the mapping of the typing keyboard to musical notes. F would represent E# which doesn't exist on a piano. H should work though. I found a pic that explains the keyboard layout better than I could:

Okay, that makes a lot more sense. I wasn't able to figure that out by just hitting the keys.
