For those who haven’t seen it, Makepad is also an in-browser code editor with an open-source UI toolkit. Looks like this synth is one of the examples of the UI toolkit.
Very impressive UI work with Rust. As @rvdca pointed out the author had a great presentation. Definitely recommend it.
I notice that there is a bug when I open the console with cmd-option-J: a note will be triggered and stay there forever.
The audio worklet uses postMessages (https://makepad.nl/makepad/platform/src/os/web_browser/audio...), which is not GC free.
For those are interested, I am maintaining https://glicol.org/ which is also an Rust/WASM audio app in browsers.
As a hardware synth lover, I'm pleasantly surprised by how good this sounds. Great work!
It seems to be able to target app builds for everything but IOS. Is there a plan/timeline to add it?
It's very impressive.
I'd suggest to reset sliders on double click like most plugin instruments do.
This is awesome. I saw a talk on this the other day on YouTube.
This looks good even on my crappy phone. Is there a reason though that the html on hackernews renders text more sharply than the text on the makepad apps?
Cool and very smooth. Shame Firefox doesn't support it (yet?).
It's very blurry though? Seems like it's trying to run at ~1080p (on a 1440p screen)
Looks like old school synth software in a good way. Cool
Does anyone know if the native UI framework supports being "hosted" in the sense that makes it useable for audio plugin dev (VST3 and others)?
The 6th note row from the bottom isn't working for me, for some reason! Otherwise, very cool.
I got just a blank page in dark grayish/brown color

Mentioning that.. is this open source?
For anyone interested, the main author (if I understood properly) did a presentation at RustNL on the UI aspect that was quite impressive performance wise : https://youtu.be/rC4FCS-oMpg
