Cracked – Method chaining/CSS-style selector web audio library

THese all sound awful. I don't get it.

I think the idea is that you can use this to build synths that you then control woth midi, etc

Would this also work for adding effects to existing audio? A simple reverb and pitch bend on a recorded vocal would make me a lot more excited than experimental synth effects.

You didn't even like this one!? https://idroppedmyphonethescreencracked.tumblr.com/post/9350...

That said, guessing a bunch of those are meant to be concise examples.

For what its worth my quick take on a lot of the text-based sound coding environments [1] is that they provide a relatively quick way to approach creating audio programmatically differently compared to a more traditional spatial / grid-based daw.

One nice thing about Cracked is that you can treat it as an audio input in Ableton, Logic, etc. and so you could use it to generate a sound to sample / process further in a daw arrangement. I had stumbled across it originally from the author's Wikipedia page which mentions that he uses it to create longer albums / pieces https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Orcutt
