Hi Alan -
Yes, I'm still tracking down some problem with sampling rate and stereo
channels. I'm comparing to an old Squeak doing
PluckedSound bachFugue play
...which has the same apparent enhancement at lower pitches, but the higher
pitches are cleaner and thus don't seem so muted. Regarding artifacts, the old
Squeak actually has more noise in a long held note, but there's something going
on in the mixing, I believe.
I'm sure I'll find these little bugs, including the artifacts you mention.
Right now, though, I'm mainly thrilled to find that there seem to be almost no
GC artifacts in the synthesis thread so it is actually possible to do the kinds
of things we're used to, in JS. And the synth code is actually very simple - I
haven't had to resort to any hacks to get reasonable performance. I can't even
see it in the processor monitor, when doing four voices all in JS.
