Codesynth 🎹

Generate music from your source code! You can try it live at codesynth.surge.sh. Codesynth is built with:

• The Web Audio API for audio synthesis
• Torus for the player and UI
• paper.css for a lightweight visual style

How does it work?

From the "How does it work?" section of Codesynth:

Codesynth translates each line of source code into a tune by looking at the indentation and length of each line.

A farther indent indicates a higher pitch, and a longer line means that pitch is held for more beats. Codesynth uses a basic pentatonic scale in A.

Deploy and build

Codesynth is an application in a single JavaScript file, and has no build step for modern browsers.

To deploy Codesynth, I use yarn deploy which uses Surge to deploy the static site.
