* [[User:SAKryukov#Microtonal_Music_Study_using_specialized_chromatic_keyboards_and_Web_Audio_API|Microtonal Music Study using specialized chromatic keyboards and Web Audio API]], a set of microtonal electronic keyboard instruments implementing different microtonal systems and build on the common platform, Web-browser based, with the embedded instrument sound synthesis based on Web Audio API. The instruments are played on a 10-finger touchscreen, but also can be played with a mouse/touchpad and, in some cases and to a limited extent, on a computer keyboard. There is an application for the development of the synthesized instrument sound; the result of the synthesis can be used by all the instruments.
