System Requirements

Chrome 14.0- (Web Audio API)
Safari 6.0- (Web Audio API)
Firefox 4.0- (Audio Data API)

Usage

Download the minified library and include it in your html.

<script src="timbre.min.js"></script>

Timbre.js is so easy.

// generate a 523Hz(C4) sine
T("sin", 523.25).play();

It's useful and powerful.

// generate a chord C-major 
T("+", T("sin", 523.35),
       T("sin", 659.25),
       T("sin", 783.99)).set({mul: 0.25}).play();

Looks a bit like CUI Max/MSP??? SuperCollider??

// tremolo & decay  
T("*", T("+", T("sin", 523.35),
              T("sin", 659.25),
              T("sin", 783.99)).set({mul: 0.25}),
       T("+tri", 2),
       T("adsr", 100, 2500).bang()).play();
