I'm currently working on the second edition of Pluto - with a lot more focus on performance optimization, looking at the audio engine and UI both. I put together couple of points I found interesting.

We introduced a new blog engine! So let's start to migrate the old content :)

 

Pluto is a digital audio workstation demo implemented in a web browser - based on the raw audio capabilities of Microsoft Silverlight. In a nutshell:

• 16 tracks with 32 voice polyphony plus 6 fx/track
• Granular synthesizer, Karplus-Strong guitar synthesizer or drum-machine per each track
• Highly optimized, multithreaded audio pipeline
• MIDI import/export, WAV export

 

The synth could be launched HERE along with demo songs (check 'File' -> 'Load demo song' menu).
