   Had a little downtime, so made a little engine sound experiment using Web Audio API.
   7 Oscillators, a wave shaper, and two filters.
   Still playing with it, but I think it sounds pretty neat.
   The things I do to procrastinate working on actual projects...

     Do we have a web audio API equivalent but not for the browser? And I do mean both equally powerful but also easy to use?

     And it's not much code at all. Maybe about 160 lines? This is why I love the web audio API. Seriously. It is epic. It has no right being this good, and I'm really not sure why it's in a browser. But I'm not complaining.

     There's still some issues. For example I'm pretty sure something with my distortion calculations is slightly off, because it crackles quite a bit when it changes. But adding or removing harmonics is pretty easy, and setting the harmonic multipliers is too, so you can get quite a variety out of it. Maybe a convolver or something to get it to sound better as well, it sounds very dry and unrealistic without it. If I'm bored I might add all that.

     I only played with this for maybe 10 minutes or so. So if I took more time, I could probably get it to sound better. It definitely needs more sculpting. But a lot of it is quite configurable. Maybe I'll drop it somewhere if people want to mess with it.
