About

Purpose

I found the lack of a catalogues for WAM modules unacceptable so I decided to build one myself.
I also added a playgroun page designed to be a one stop shop for testing, playing around with and showcasing individual modules

The playground

The playground page is a one stop shop for testing and showcasing all aspects of individual modules. Any publically hosted module can be tested using it's URL.

Testable inputs

• Live audio input from your audio input devices like; mics and audio interfaces
• Pre-recorded audio input
  TODO
• Midi input keyboard (with velocity)
• Midi bending and aftertouch
  TODO
• Midi clock
  TODO

Testable outputs

• Audio (the module is prewired to your speakers)
• Midi output log
  TODO

What are "WAMs"

WAMs, or Web Audio Modules, are pieces of sound processing software that are intended to produce or augment audio, and work together in a modular way. If you are familiar with VSTs then you can think of WAMs as "VSTs for the web". If you are familiar with analog gear like guitar pedals or eurorack, well, this is the guitar pedal / eurorack of the web.

If you want to checkout the modular nature of WAMs then I recommend that you go to https://sequencer.party/ There you'll be able to connect different moduels and sequencers together to produce some tunes. You can even use that site to jam live with other people!

Audio for everyone!

• I believe that web audio can improve accessibility and the immediacy of exploring digital sound processing and with that goal in mind i will try to adhere to these princples:
• Efficient: keep the site lightweight and fast.
• Runs everywhere: work well across devices and browsers.
• Accessible and responsive: this is a priority, not a nice-to-have.

Feedback

If you notice anything that hurts accessibility, responsiveness, or performance, I’d genuinely like to hear it.
