Scanline Synthesizer
An image-to-sound instrument built as a playable web synth.
A browser-based synthesizer that turns horizontal rows of an image into single-cycle waveforms. You can play it from a computer keyboard, Web MIDI input, or the on-screen piano.
- Supports raw waveform playback, cutoff mode, and Karplus-Strong style pluck synthesis.
- Includes monophonic and polyphonic behavior, portamento, filter controls, chorus, delay, crossfade, and row randomness.
- Built with Evidype and EvidyTS, plus Lit, Vite, and the Web Audio API, with EvidyTS tests around behavior and mode switching.
This is a good Evidype example because real-time audio tools punish vague boundaries. Keyboard input, Web MIDI, image rows, synth modes, effects, and UI state all have to stay decomposed enough for the agent to change one part without breaking the rest.
