been building a thing. browser-based industrial techno generators, all running on strudel (the live-coding engine, superdough under the hood). no daw, no plugins, no install — you open a page, hit play, it makes sound.
why. because i kept wanting weird raw material and didn’t want to open ableton every single time just to sketch a texture. so i put the sound sources in the browser instead. a kick synth with a pitch envelope and distortion, a rumble unit with four ways to grow the tail (reverb / decay / delay / sub), and a long atmosphere unit — chord drone with slow filter and phaser drift, the kind of thing that just breathes for two minutes and goes nowhere on purpose.
the important part: everything records to WAV. the second i hear something i like i drag the file straight into ableton. the browser’s own webm/opus is useless for that, daws won’t touch it — so i wrote a little capture layer that taps the master output and encodes real 16-bit wav with anti-clip normalization. that one boring detail is what makes the whole thing actually usable instead of a toy.
all vanilla js, zero build. basically a small factory of noise machines i can keep bolting new parts onto.
more soon. the flagship one is unhinged.
