for a recent, but long time coming newcomer that is amazing, open-source, etc.
Yes the idea is similar, but this is in the browser, so no install, etc. Unfortunately it doesn't work on FF yet, but it should at some point.
I wouldn't hold my breath on Firefox adding support for importing inside workers. I've personally worked around it with the convoluted solution of bundling modules with the in-browser version of esbuild immediately before playing (the use case being in-browser modular playgrounds and editable stuff such as this).
From the same genius who created Turing Drawings:

Very impressive. Excellent sound. The idea is great, and well executed. Bravo.
Wow, extremely impressive!
This is really good. I've wanted to write something like this forever, because I have hand-coded a lot of little MIDI/sound experiments in the browser. This will definitely be of use to me, both as a learning tool and as a saving-myself-time tool. Great, great project.
My kid and I have been playing with this for a couple hours. It's awesome. I have a couple of UI suggestions that would slickify certain aspects of it:
1) have a simplified representation of very short "simple" connections where adjacent nodes are wired together. This would make it easier to read some of the denser examples, and clean up cases where e.g. you just wire a knob or a const directly to a node's input and nothing else.
2) physical grouping would be a huge win for managing layouts
3) a sort of automatic combo of 1 and 2 would also be neat, where e.g. these closely-bound nodes like an operation with a knob stuck to it could automatically follow each other if you grabbed one and moved it.
Years ago (not sure if still true since I haven't used it in years), Adobe Illustrator had this nifty behavior where objects that were nested in complex groups within groups could be used to progressively select specific subsets of their groups by holding a modifier key. Modifier-click an object and that single object was selected. Modifier click again and it selects all of its groups' siblings. Once more and it jumps up to the parent group and all of _its_ siblings. Etc until all the objects in the group are selected (which would have been the default un-modifier-ed select behavior. Not only is it a pretty useful way to select progressively larger portions of your group, it's a little UX sugar that lets you refresh your memory on what the group structure is.
Oh and some midi-related ones: some way to see what nodes have MIDI mapped to them and some kind of protection/warning when you assign a MIDI input that's already attached to another node.
