Not sure what went wrong and I'm not sure about the exact measurements but your synth has huge input or output latency, maybe around 100ms or something like that? Other WASM/web synths I've tried doesn't suffer from the same problem.

Otherwise it's a nifty little toy, thanks for sharing :) Lots of fun.

Yeah some browsers/operating systems have worse latency issues than others with Web Audio. However, it's possible to tune the `latencyHint` a bit when constructing the `AudioContext` to specify a custom value. You have to find a balance between too low where have buffer underruns and miss samples and too high where it adds noticeable delay.

After a good bit of trial and error, I came up with a setup that works well on all platforms I could test: https://github.com/Ameobea/web-synth/blob/master/src/index.h...

Thanks! :) Yeah the keyboard layout is based on the tracker style. I spent a lot of time with FastTracker 2.
