Hello!
Welcome to the May edition of Web Audio Weekly. There's a lot of fun and interesting projects in this months newsletter. Next month it's Web Audio Conference which is free to attend online. I'll be covering the conference in more detail next month, all being well. See you then!

TANIA RASCIA
This tutorial shows you how to build a Keyboard Accordian-style application using Svelte and Web Audio. I particularly enjoyed the discussion of accordian tuning systems and how to encode them in a custom data structure.

GEORGI GERGANOV
A collection of online and web-based tools that demonstrate how to analyse recorded audio to work out which keys are being pressed on a mechanical keyboard. As well as the author's description of the approach there's some slightly more hysterical write-ups of the nefarious potential.

DENTSU
From creative agency Dentsu, this collection of resources for UX developers explores how to use sound in combination with UX interface elements. It includes two free-to-use collections of sounds for common interface element types such as buttons and toggles. The notes for each interface element also provide some inspiration for how you'd design your own sounds.

The bell is one of the oldest, and certainly is the loudest of, musical instruments. The sound of a bell has the power to charm, to amaze, to warn, to frighten, and to lift the spirit. Bells are ubiquitous even in our electronic age. And yet the way in which a bell produces its sound is complex, and even such a simple question as which note a bell sounds can have surprising and unexpected answers.
