In plain words
Blip is a lightweight JavaScript library that simplifies working with the Web Audio API for audio looping and sampling. It abstracts complex audio routing and node creation while providing methods for precise temporal control and musical manipulation of samples. The library includes an asynchronous sample loader with callbacks to ensure audio files are ready before use, making it suitable for developers building web-based audio applications and interactive sound projects.

From the sources
A lightweight JavaScript library that wraps the Web Audio API, abstracting away the AudioContext, and simplifying node creation and audio routing. It provides some extremely powerful and flexible methods for looping and manipulating samples that allow for both temporal precision and musical expressiveness. Blip helps you load samples asynchronously, and gives you a simple callback mechanism to ensure that your samples are ready to use. blip.sampleLoader() .samples({ 'kick', 'path/to/your/kick_sound.wav', 'snare', 'path/to/your/snare_sound.wav', 'kazoo', 'path/to/your/kazoo_sound.wav' }) .done(callback) .load(); function callback() { // now your samples are available blip.sample('snare') //…from jshanley.github.io

Blotter – An interactive, never ending music video2023 · twitch.tv · ▲166One day I was listening to a playlist and wished there could be some cool visuals to go along with it. Blotter is a proof of concept I hacked together that does a bit of audio recognition combined with a few generative AI models (both text and img) to create visuals that are relevant to the song. The video stream is generated in real time at 24fps - you can try it yourself by requesting visuals in the Twitch chat using the "!v" command! Right now it's mostly a fun hack project, but I am tinkering with new model architectures for higher fidelity video as well as an interactive tool so people…
