I haven't realized that Chrome has a whole bunch of invisible experimental settings that you can turn on just by going to "about:flags
".
Some of them will open up the musical capabilities of html5, which are pretty cool. Example, once you switch on the 'web-audio' setting on Chrome, if you use a suitable musical musical library you could play a note just by issuing these javascript commands:
var n = Note.fromLatin('A4');
var freq = n.frequency(); // returns 440
var name = n.latin(); // returns "A"
var octave = n.octave(); // returns 4
The full example (with sound, if you've turned on the Web Audio setting as mentioned above) can be seen here: musicjs demo.
