Harmonix Lab
An interactive music laboratory that teaches theory through synthesized sound, playable experiments, acoustics, mathematics, and global musical systems.
Field notes
The lab divides its material into five interactive areas, spanning sound physics, modal systems, geometric rhythm, and timbre. Its field guide describes a browser-based audio engine with no samples, using Web Audio API synthesis and Karplus-Strong physical modeling for instruments including guzheng, flute, violin, Rhodes, analog synthesizers, and drums. The page also presents multilingual interface options and a 16-drawbar Fourier additive synthesizer as part of its timbre exploration.
