Tapes
A separate eight-second tape under every key, each one its own performance rather than one sample moved around. Hold a key too long and the tape runs out. Play a key often enough and you wear it out — not the sound of it, the tape.
Everything you hear is synthesized or chopped in the browser: no audio framework, just Web Audio and two AudioWorklets. The engine is a plain TypeScript package (@mixpigeon/engine) that drops into any site, game or art piece. The instance on this page lives at window.mixpigeon.
