Instrument
Lumen Choir
An original sequenced instrument feeds an audio envelope detector whose live energy expands procedural text and sweeps video hue. A live energy readout makes the sound-to-image relationship visible.

Instrument
Nineteen Steps
A portable 19-EDO tuning governs the built-in melody, polyphonic instrument, playable keyboard and tuner consistently. Explore six- and eleven-step intervals, then play your own nineteen-step octave.

Effect
Cloud Archive
Incoming audio becomes a stereo granular cloud with a real buffer-freeze switch, independent grain scatter, three pitch-shifted harmony voices and a long room, blended against the original input.
By @bit.audio
Instrument
Spline Rider
An authored multi-stage control curve simultaneously morphs a wavetable and sweeps a resonant filter. Switch between autonomous motion and manual position scanning over a Euclidean pluck.
By @bit.audio
Instrument
Harmonic Observatory
Five original sine partials keep 1:2:3:5:7 frequency ratios under one pitch control. Separate harmonic faders build the spectrum before subtle ensemble and reverb.
By @bit.audio
Effect
Parallax Room
An explicit matrix encodes stereo to mid/side, processes centre dynamics and side-only chorus independently, then decodes back to stereo. A real mono switch and stereo portrait make comparison immediate.

Instrument
Probability Orchard
A sixteen-step melody combines per-note probability, selectable traversal and a stateful random walk that moves the filter independently; the score display reveals the underlying source.
By @bit.audio
Effect
Quicksilver
A real audio envelope follower drives a resonant auto-filter through an adjustable tone window; detector sensitivity and decay shape the playing response before saturation and compression.
By @bit.audio
Instrument
Chroma Relay
One held root is transformed into a triad, merged with a playable keyboard and arpeggiated across selectable orders and octaves before a polyphonic pluck and echo.
By @bit.audio
Effect
Fault Lines
A six-channel, three-band crossover is explicitly split into stereo buses: low-band saturation, mid-band phasing and high-band bit reduction, then reconstructed through a safety limiter.
By @bit.audio
Instrument
Rain Cabinet
Short noise bursts excite four separately tuned resonant bands. Explicit stereo routing, irregular Euclidean excitation and a long room create a playable synthetic rain sculpture.
By @bit.audio
Instrument
Contrary Motion
Two instances of one reusable sequenced instrument have independent scores, lengths, directions and articulation, with the same nested Frame rendered twice and explicit stereo placement.
By @bit.audio
Instrument
Memory Bloom
A built-in pluck phrase fills a live granular buffer. Capture and reshape actual audio memory with grain size/density XY control, look-back time, pitch scatter and reverb.
By @bit.audio
Instrument
Copper Tides
Audio-rate ring modulation combines a two-frame harmonic wavetable and sine modulator; an XY frequency field explores inharmonic sidebands before filtering, phasing and reverb.
By @bit.audio
Instrument
Circuit Breaks
A three-lane synthesized drum machine with independent Euclidean rhythms, per-lane envelopes, level and on controls, followed by transient shaping.
By @bit.audio
Instrument
Neon Counterpoint
A self-playing chiptune phrase shares its graph with generated text, color rotation, geometric motion and pixelation on a live Frame screen. Visuals require browser WebGPU.
By @bit.audio
Instrument
Vowel Circuit
An authored harmonic wavetable and a swept noise modulator drive a real multiband vocoder. Explore formant shifting without microphone permission or external media.
By @bit.audio
Effect
Prism Split
Split incoming audio into low and high paths: saturate the low band, reduce the high-band resolution, recombine and glue with a compressor.
By @bit.audio
Effect
Tape Satellites
A stereo performance effect combining gentle saturation, tape-like chorus motion, filtered echo, a slow phaser and a small room.
By @bit.audio
Instrument
Sidechain Skyline
A generated sine kick feeds the compressor sidechain and ducks a sequenced bass wash. Hear the difference by moving threshold, ratio and recovery.
By @bit.audio
Instrument
Polymetric Keys
Two instances of one reusable Euclidean instrument run twelve- and sixteen-step cycles independently, meeting in one shared echo and reverb bus.
By @bit.audio
Instrument
Clockwork Bass
A sixteen-step bass phrase drives a resonant filter with a visible modulation cable, then adds controlled saturation and a short echo.
By @bit.audio
Instrument
Orbit Loom
An original two-frame harmonic wavetable continuously morphs through three detuned voices, a resonant filter, a slow phaser and spacious reverb.
By @bit.audio
Instrument
Glass Atlas
A polyphonic glass pad with a gentle built-in phrase, playable piano, chorus and long reverb. Turn Sequence down to play only the keyboard.

About Toys
A Toy is a playable instrument or audio effect that runs in your browser: a Patch of audio nodes for the sound and a Frame of knobs, sliders and pads for the controls. Every Toy here is published by its creator; open one to play it, and remix it when the creator allows.
