A band in your browser, using the Web Audio API and Websockets.

About

This is an experiment to show what's achievable using some know programming patterns, JavaScript, browser APIs and a NodeJS server. So don't mind the messy code in some parts of the application (especially the server code). =)

Running the project

1. Install NodeJS
2. Install NodeJS package dependencies
3. Install Bower dependencies
4. Run the grunt task to generate the CSS and JavaScript
5. Run node server.js
6. Access localhost:3000/admin?key=g4rbVcBTVfMFMf4GeZFTjxheBqgAQbc5nJGqef5UtvBZFth8 to access the host interface (that giant key was a crude way to avoid people at the conference possibly messing with the server =P)
7. Add some remote instruments, and access [server ip]:3000/ on other devices.

Current problems

• There's no way to remove instruments from host.
• Server is in a veeeeery crude state. If the admin connection drops, probably there will be some duplicated instruments. Restart the server to fix this.
• Instrument interfaces are in a proof-of-concept state.

It's just for fun =)

Probably I won't look that much at pull requests, but you're free to fork the project, play with it, and contact me with cool ideas. =D
