What is the WebMidiLink

WebMidiLink is a technology for the sync of multiple web-based synthesizers. Though the HTML5 audio functions allows you to build a web-based synthesizers, they still not have the ability of co-operating each other. WebMidiLink is a very simple protocol of the MIDI message transfer. Web-based host apps can use web-based synthesizers as if they are the plug-in synthesizers by this protocol.

This page is a sample of the WebMidiLink. Load web-based synthesizers by pressing the 'Load' buttons for each Instrument, and can play MMLs.

Chrome is recommended to run demo.

WebSequencer, the Pianoroll sequencer is now in development.
