Browser Based Music Software: This video demonstrates a HTML 5 + Javascript synthesizer running in a modified version of Firefox (Minefield).

We’ve seen some impressive browser-based synths and virtual music studios, like AudioTool, in the past, but they were Flash-based.

By building music apps on Web standards like HTML 5 & Javascript, it should eventually be possible to create browser-based music applications that run on the Web, on iPhones, iPads and a variety of other platforms.

I’m a little skeptical about the prospects for browser-based synthesis, especially when you consider the relatively glacial evolution of browser-based synths vs other platforms. It’s clear, though, that there will be a place for this sort of thing.

What do you think of this HTML 5 synth – and the idea of browser-based synths in general?
