klank.dev - audio sandbox in the browser

tl;dr https://klank.dev && https://discourse.klank.dev

I just launched klank.dev! It's a browser-based audio sandbox that uses PureScript as its input language.

Below is a small tutorial using my favorite coding technique: copy and paste. For each example below:

  • Copy and paste the entire snippet into the klank.dev editor after deleting whatever gunk was there before.
  • Press k then ENTER to compile.
  • Press p then ENTER to play.
  • Press s then ENTER to stop.

Use Firefox! 🦊 + 🎧 = 💪

Hello klank

A simple sine wave.

Try me on klank.dev.

module Klank.Dev where

import Prelude
import Data.Typelevel.Num (D1)
import FRP.Behavior (Behavior)
import FRP.Behavior.Audio (AudioUnit, gain', runInBrowser, sinOsc, speaker')
import Type.Klank.Dev (Klank, klank)

scene :: Number -> Behavior (AudioUnit D1)
scene = const $ pure (speaker' (gain' 0.2 $ sinOsc 220.0))

main :: Klank
main = klank { run = runInBrowser scene }
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Double the sine waves, double the fun.

For more info...

I'm slowly but surely adding examples and documentation to discourse.klank.dev. A good place to start is here. If anything's broken, it's my fault. Please file a bug report on the discourse using the Site feedback tag.

THANK YOU for checking out klank.dev, I hope you have fun, and please share what you make!

This is awesome! Great educational materials to build up computational thinking. Keep up the good work!

Thanks Jonny! I hope you enjoy klank, and if you feel like sharing, please post a couple klanks on the newly-minted discourse!
