Title: Good News!
Post by: folderol on October 14, 2018, 07:32:23 PM
I've just been informed that someone has ported a version of Yoshimi to WebAssembly  :- :;

This means you can now run it in a web browser. Currently it is for the Chrome browser only.
As well as the virtual keyboard, you can play connected to a MIDI keyboard, and select all the standard banks and programs.

No editing features are currently available.

A link to the site is:

Okay! Very cool. I just went to the site with google chrome browser and it worked using my external synth. Easy peasy.

Wondering if there is a way to do this in firefox?

It's pretty nifty isn't it?

I don't think Firefox is possible as it needs WebAssembly (or something like it). However it does work in the Vivaldi browser, which has pretty much everything Firefox has - and more.

The developer has been in contact and is considering a full-fat browser based GUI :)

Interesting concept...but one of which I do not comprehend(much less even imagined was possible.)A web browsing synth doesn't really compute in my head. ???

It does two things for Yoshimi and its users.

1
Makes the synth more visible to new people.

2
Allows an existing user to try out an idea with familiar sounds when out and about.
