How it works
Single Source of Truth
Every instrument is defined by a JSON file in Instrudio_v2/instruments/definitions/. This definition drives:
- Web page โ title, controls, presets, MIDI CC mappings, note range
- Plugin bridge โ instrument ID, control IDs, preset IDs
- Mobile app โ same definition, same IDs (planned)
Remote-first loading
core/definition-runtime.js fetches definitions from this GitHub repo first (raw.githubusercontent.com), falling back to local files when offline. 5-minute cache TTL.
To update all outlets: edit a definition JSON on GitHub โ push โ every web page, plugin, and mobile client picks up the change automatically.
External MIDI
The V1 Core instruments accept MIDI input from any external controller via the Web MIDI API. They also send MIDI output when played, so they can drive external synths/DAWs.
MIDI CC mappings are defined per-instrument in the definition JSON (e.g., CC1 = bow pressure on violin, CC7 = volume, CC74 = brightness).
Plugin Bridge
core/bridge-client.js auto-connects to ws://localhost:9100. To run the bridge relay:
cd Instrudio_v2/platform/plugin
npm install ws
node bridge-server.js
Web pages and DAW plugins both connect to this relay. Messages follow platform/plugin/bridge-contract.json.

Studio Violin: Building a Physically Modelled Bowed-String Instrument in Instrudio
Iโm building Instrudio, a browser-based virtual instrument ecosystem, and the flagship instrument right now is Studio Violin.
Studio Violin is a physically modelled bowed-string instrument built around Helmholtz motion synthesis, H2 harmonic correction, inharmonicity modelling, Stradivari-style body resonances, sympathetic open-string resonance, and live MIDI control.
The goal is not just to make a violin-like web instrument. The goal is to prove that a single version-controlled instrument definition can drive synthesis, UI, MIDI routing, plugin bridge behavior, presets, and live update propagation from one source of truth.
What Studio Violin does
Studio Violin models the behavior of a bowed violin string using a synthesis chain designed around acoustic measurements and practical browser audio constraints.
The instrument includes:
- Helmholtz bowed-string waveform synthesis
- H2 correction oscillator
- Inharmonicity chorus per string
- 8-band Stradivari-style body EQ
- Per-string tonal offsets
- Sympathetic open-string resonance
- Nonlinear bow coupling
- Pressure-coupled vibrato
- Interval-scaled portamento
- Bow-pressure, bow-speed, bow-point, character, brightness, attack, and vibrato controls
- External MIDI routing through the Instrudio app
Synthesis model
The Helmholtz waveform uses a Fourier-style bowed-string model:
bโ = โ(2 / (nยฒฯยฒD(1โD))) ยท sin(nฯD) D = 0.5 + bowPressure ร 0.30
Updating an instrument
- Edit the definition JSON (e.g., change a preset value, add a control, update the MIDI range)
- Bump the
versionfield - Push to
main - Every outlet picks up the change within 5 minutes (or immediately on page refresh)
