Now we can chrunch midi using javascript, and playback using Quicktime. Great!

I think this works on browsers both in Win/Linux/Mac, but again sadly IE does not support data: protocol.

Tip: If you are using Quicktime Alternative, be sure to tick "Install plugin for Firefox/Mozilla/Netscape/Opera/Chrome" option when install QTAlt.

Javascript can generate absolutely ANYTHING.

I started to do a Soft Synth in summer 2006, went as far as having sounds made of various generators ( saw tooth, square, noise ) with different tuning, with an ADSR enveloppe, and did some delay ( aka echo ), and simple LFO effects. It worked well but I never got the guts to make a proper editor.

When Jacob Sedeilin did his Super Mario in 14Kb, in April this year I think, I looked at Midi and got something to decode and encode MIDI tunes. IIRC, once compressed, the 1"24 and >10Kb Super Mario Bros. theme song took around 2Kb to generate and play.

I should really get my hands dirty and make a music editor.

"The man in blue" has a nifty JS+QuickTime drum machine, JS-909 demo based on feeding data: URIs to QT - it actually seems to work pretty well.
