Audio in is supported - it just uses your computer's audio in. Just press on the "Line In" checkbox on the left to allow your browser to access your audio. Alternatively, you can send a pre-set sample to the worklet by selecting it from the dropdown menu and pressing "Play"

Midi in is not supported yet, i.e. you can't press a key on your connected MIDI keyboard to send a MIDI message to the worklet yet. You can simulate it with the keyboard on the left. Quoting the Help page (accessible with the "?" button on the top right):

"The MIDI IN keyboard will send MIDI messages to the worklet's MessagePort. Messages are objects of the form {type: ['noteon' | 'noteoff'], value: { note, octave, midi, frequency } }"

Using physical MIDI controls will be supported in future releases, though.

Have you considered using Open Sound Control[0]? There is a nice JS package for it. I've put together a couple demo web apps using OSC as both client and server. Bonuses include that you get midi with it, it creates RESTful 2 way interfaces for your endpoints, can be shared over the internet (WebRTC), and it's universally easy to hook to other stuff! Also there is a FANTASTIC customizable interface app for iOS and Android called TouchOSC[1] that only costs $5. I use it for music and robotics.

shameless self-promotion: I work on a free software OSC sequencer: https://ossia.io

I have been looking for this for years. Awesome self promotion.

That's really cool and I'll surely consider it for future releases. I'm trying to sort out the priorities for this project and the feedback on HN is amazing. Thanks.

No problem. Your app is really cool! I really have to compliment you on the design/ux too. Clean, easy to look at, and minimal futuristic. I look forward to seeing more!

Do you have a github or a blog I can follow? I didn't see anything in the info on your site.
