From 34f442b0301361660f80bc99977e530a70c6d908 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "google-labs-jules[bot]" <161369871+google-labs-jules[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Fri, 3 Jul 2026 02:47:50 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] feat: implement authentic TR-808/909 drum synthesis engine - Refactored all drum models to follow 'Analog Drum Synthesis in Web Audio API' research. - Implemented authentic 15-bit LFSR noise for TR-909 Snare 'Snappy' component. - Implemented Diode Damping emulation for TR-808 Kick using two-stage amplitude envelopes. - Replaced pre-trigger buffer generation with shared pre-calculated noise buffers in `DrumUtils.ts`. - Implemented `randomStart` for all noise-based drums to eliminate the 'machine-gun' effect. - Improved node termination and choking logic using `activeVoices` tracking and explicit oscillator disposal. - Calibrated pitch sweeps and filter frequencies to match hardware specifications (e.g., 909 Kick 4.7x pitch sweep, 808 Hi-Hat 6-oscillator matrix). - Added velocity-sensitivity early exits and strictly positive ramp values for Web Audio stability.
