Background: I'm working on a project that uses Web Audio API and synthesized sound. This is my first time using Web Audio API and I've struggled to find good sounds. Wishing the current libraries were more accessible to, for example, a game developer who would like to be able to select from a palette of interesting sounds.
With the benefit of an outsider's eye on web audio, I see four issues with synth libs right now:
- they aren't opinionated enough. not enough presets, simulations, or good-sounding defaults
- documentation is often not playable or tweakable (seems critical for a music lib)
- no easy way to twist some knobs and generate sound snippits (JSON?) that I can use in my program
- the syntax for many of the libraries feels clunky to me
