soundworks

Full-stack JavaScript framework for distributed WebAudio and multimedia applications.

Documentation

http://collective-soundworks.github.io/soundworks/

Overview

soundworks follows a client / server architecture where the server is written using Node.js and clients can be either regular browser clients or Node.js clients running for example on a Raspberry Pi.

The core of the framework is very minimal and dedicated at handling:

• Http(s) server and basic routing
• WebSockets initialization
• Processes initialization
• Distributed state management

soundworks can be extended with services to reuse common logic such as audio file loading, clock synchronisation, etc. Each service leaves in a separate repo for better modularity and to simplify version management.

Installation

npm install @soundworks/core
