This is cool, but I don't know on what planet "C, Eb, F#" is a major chord. Seems to be off by a half-step (i.e. should be C, E, G)?

Thank you for catching this :) just committed the fix for this.

Yes, the major should be (C E G). (C Eb F#) looks like a C dimnished, though I think it would be better written as (C Eb Gb).

True - for some reason I have this affinity to certain notes being sharp and certain ones being flat (i.e. F# > Gb, but Eb > D#), even though the rule is that it should be consistent based on the key.

Crashes my Chrome OS (beta channel) browser tab, though when it loaded once there was no sound.

Thank you, I'm using 12.0.742.122 myself but i doubt its chrome rather this thing not being memory profiled at all just yet.

No probs with it on FF Nightly (6.0a1 2011-04-22).

What about this requires canvas? Seems like it could be done very simply with just divs (and audio elements, of course).
