The Schaefer build shelf
Things I built
for the fun of it.
Synths and drum machines that run in a browser tab, games for the family, a search engine that skips the junk. Everything here works right now. Pick one.

Instruments, effects and a sample cratemusic.subch.usA Juno-shaped polysynth, an 808-shaped drum machine, a modular rack, a pedal-circuit simulator and a sample jam, all running in the browser on Rust compiled to WebAssembly.

Polyphonic synthesizerSUBCH-60Six voices in the shape of the Juno-60: one oscillator a voice, a four-pole filter, the arpeggiator and the chorus that made it famous. Every slider explains itself.Drum machineSUBCH-808Eleven voices built the way the TR-808 built them, a sixteen-step sequencer with accent and shuffle, and a knob explainer on every control. Bounce a beat to WAV.Modular synthesizerSUBCHangeSixteen modules on a rack, patched with cables: oscillators, filters, envelopes, a step sequencer, delay and reverb. Share a patch as a link.Guitar pedal circuitsPedal LabTen classic pedal circuits simulated part by part. Turn a knob, swap a diode, change a cap, and hear it; the scope and the frequency response show why.Sample crate and jamSUBCHannelsAn 8×8 pad grid of loops and one-shots locked to one clock, with a step sequencer and punch-in effects. Build your own grid from the crate.GuitarCapo FinderOpen chord voicings, the shapes that sit next to them, and a capo finder: pick the key and the shapes you would rather play. Design and idea by Bryan Albee.
