Would be great as an iPad app.
Did you try accessin the web-page with the iPad? It should work - I guess it would be faster on iPad if we compiled for iPad instead of WASM. Will try on my iPad later.
I thought about it, but no AUv3 integration and of course slower-than-native code. Not that it matters for emulating these chips.
Actually, let me grab it. [...] Hmmm, better than expected. It works out of the box, but there's note latency compared to native apps. Also, zooming and text selection appear even when you don't want them. Janky for real playing, okay for a demo.
Yes, a dedicated app might be a good thing. Not sure what Apple says about emulators of this type.
