Guitar

It's a virtual guitar record-a-synthesize-amatronic web application.

You can copy and paste entire webpages containing guitar tabs and it'll try to load all it can.

Uses tuna audio effects library. The guitar synthesis algorithm is from guitar-synth.

The tablature parser is available as separately as a module here.

TODO

• Better mobile support

  • Play back recorded notes with a button

  • Multitouch

• Make web application self-explanatory and test accessibility

• Make bending (MMB) less ridiculous

• Maybe add scale highlighting like I did with Tri-Chromatic Keyboard

• Record chords (with multitouch or a modifier key, maybe also have some sort of toggle)

• Record, parse, and play back articulations such as slides, bends, vibratos, hammer-ons, and pull-offs

• Different sound for sliding than for pressing

• Support for different tunings

• Allow configuring the effects chain (at least toggle distortion on/off)

• Include demo tabs (probably in a dropdown)

• Tablature editor

  • Scroll with the playback position

  • Make the playback position indicator different while playing

  • Handle multi-digit numbers when highlighting stuff

  • Set the position in the song when you click in the tablature editor

  • Insert and overwrite notes with the guitar

  • Shift+click to select

  • Disable or override double-click and triple-click

  • Toggle custom selection behavior

  • Maybe have a button to toggle insert/overwrite too

  • Custom syntax highlighting

    • Highlight tablature with articulations and everything

    • Highlight << misalignment markers as erroneous

  • Why does the selection style change on mouseup?

  • Maybe add some padding with renderer.setPadding?

• MusicXML? MIDI?
