A sophisticated web application showcasing advanced React architecture and real-time audio synthesis capabilities, presented through an elegantly crafted retro-terminal interface. This project demonstrates professional-grade web development practices, combining React, TypeScript, and Web Audio APIs within a carefully designed terminal-inspired user interface.
This portfolio application exemplifies the seamless integration of modern web technologies while maintaining exceptional performance and code quality standards. The architecture leverages Vite's advanced bundling capabilities, React's component model, and TypeScript's type safety to deliver a robust and maintainable codebase.

pnpm previewThe synthesizer implementation features a sophisticated voice management system:
- Polyphonic engine with up to 16 voices
- Dynamic voice allocation with voice stealing
- Professional-grade audio processing chain
- Comprehensive parameter automation
- Advanced modulation routing system
The application employs a robust state management approach:
- Custom hooks for audio engine interaction
- Context providers for global state
- Efficient component memoization
- Type-safe state updates
- Real-time parameter synchronization
Several optimization techniques are implemented:
- Efficient voice allocation algorithm
- Smooth parameter transitions
- Optimized render cycles using React.memo
- Dynamic component loading
- Careful memory management
The application is configured for deployment to GitHub Pages using GitHub Actions:
