I'm seeing the same issue, on Firefox and Edge, when there are too many notes played in a short interval.

For example (apologies for the messy code): https://editor.p5js.org/fs_/sketches/EssUnKJ2Q

If you increase the amount of notes played by uncommenting line 9 ( scale = [...scale, ...scale];) and press play, the exception oldestNote is not defined is thrown.

Oddly enough, running this same code inside electron does not cause this exception.
