Description
As a side project for a hockey manager game, I created a small audio tracker, "HM Tracker," which was used to make the game's music.It is a browser-based tracker-style music workstation. All sound is procedurally generated from oscillators - no samples, no plugins.The UI lets you edit patterns on a step grid, pick instruments and chords, then export as a standalone JS music engine or WAV file. Built with vanilla JS and the Web Audio API (best experienced on a desktop browser).Made in the '90s demoscene spirit (at least the looks, anyway).Would love any feedback!

Could you build this?
Yes A tracker UI driving the Web Audio API oscillators and gain nodes without complex sample engines is entirely feasible with standard JavaScript.
