It’s alive! The birth of Hackmusic. I’ve officially started developing Hackmusic for the challenge! My goal is to build a full-fledged digital music studio right in the browser. The unique thing about it: the app will function entirely without external MP3 files or samples. Every single sound is generated in real-time using pure mathematics via the Web Audio API. The first few hours were a real grind, especially getting the precise audio clock for the loop scheduler running stably. Standard JavaScript is often too imprecise for musical timing, but the foundation is now rock-solid! The very first prototype is already up and running: a simple 16-step grid plays a pentatonic scale in a seamless loop without any stuttering. Next, I’m moving beyond the initial setup phase. On the agenda: an integrated drum machine for punchy rhythms, sound effects like echo delay, and a visually striking Canvas-based oscilloscope featuring dynamic particle explosions. Stay tuned!
