I have been working on this (with Claude's help) for a few months and it has finally reached Beta stage and I thought I'd lay it on you lot
I set out initially with making one instrument, well it was a groove box really, a simple drum machine which sounded a bit like a Linn or an 808, a Karplus Strong synthesizer and a 303 inspired acid synth. This became a thing called StringVest (which you'll be able to get on the Apple App store in June) and from that I went down the web midi and web audio rabbit hole and began to think we'll what if I could make a whole studio in the browser….
And so the Vest Suite was born, 8 instruments all in sync, through a simple mixer and a way to record and export what you do, both as audio and as individual settings for each instrument.
I will be upfront, I have heavily used Claude in the building of this, despite a career spent in IT and engineering departments, I am not a coder. That being said, there are real developer practices happening behind the scenes and the instruments are all very real, sound good and should run on pretty much anything by design.
I'm building this on my own currently so I am sure there are bugs and things that could be better and I am all ears for anything you may spot and would love ideas for how to make it better or more useful.
Otherwise, please enjoy and make sure you send me anything you make with this!
