FM sound synthesis in the browser. Part 1
Summary
This article explains how to create FM-style sound synthesis in the browser using JavaScript and the Web Audio API. It walks through simple oscillator examples, ADSR-style envelopes, amplitude modulation, frequency modulation, and phase modulation. It then shows how to implement a custom AudioWorkletProcessor for more advanced DSP-based synthesis. The piece also connects these browser techniques to classic synthesizers like the Yamaha DX7 and to DAW/VST workflows.
