Adds piano sample playback functionality to enable users to hear notes when playing with a MIDI controller. The feature is toggleable so users can still use sounds from their own keyboard if desired.

Implementation

The piano samples are generated in real-time using the Web Audio API rather than loading external audio files. This keeps the application lightweight while providing high-quality piano-like tones.

Sound Generation:

  • Uses a triangle wave oscillator for a more musical tone quality
  • Implements an ADSR (Attack-Decay-Sustain-Release) envelope for realistic piano sound decay
  • Properly tracks active notes and starts/stops oscillators based on MIDI note on/off events

User Interface:

  • Added a piano keyboard emoji (🎹) toggle button next to the MIDI input dropdown
  • Button changes color to indicate state: blue when enabled, gray when disabled
  • Feature is disabled by default to preserve existing workflow

Changes

  • PianoSound Component (apps/react/src/components/PianoSound.tsx): New component that listens to MIDI note events from Redux and generates corresponding audio
  • MIDI Redux Slice: Extended with pianoSamplesEnabled state and setPianoSamplesEnabled action
  • MidiInputsDropdown: Added toggle button UI element
  • App.tsx: Integrated the PianoSound component into the application

Testing

  • All existing tests pass (35 passing)
  • Added new unit tests for the piano samples toggle functionality
  • TypeScript compilation succeeds with no errors
