not working in Safari

[hmoffatt]

I don't get any sound from the demos (either examples/index.html, nor the page at https://danigb.github.io/soundfont-player/ ) in Safari, either on the Mac or on iOS 9.3.2.

Firstly Safari uses the deprecated name webkitAudioContext. Once I changed that, I still don't get any sound from the soundfont-player page; it seems the soundfont loaded .then() promise is never called. I couldn't see why,

This is big! I'll take a look asap. Thanks!

Hi, I've updated marimba.js example to use webkitAudioContext and it works in my machine using OS X and Safari 9.0.2. Do you mind to test in your computer?

(You'll need beefy installed: npm i -g beefy and then beefy examples/marimba.js and open http://127.0.0.1:9966)

Thanks

[hmoffatt]

Yes, that works for me now. Thanks.

I'd like to test it on iOS too, but Safari on iOS doesn't allow pages to
automatically start playing, only on some user event like clicking a button.

Here is a small demo patch to the marimba.js example so that it plays on
click of a button, meaning it will make sound on iOS.

Having this issue on iOS (Safari and Chrome) even with triggered sound events (vs onload).

Safari iOS error is

Can't find variable: AudioContext

Installed beefy, but getting errors running examples/marimba.js

Error: Could not find a suitable bundler!

Happy to help troubleshoot MIDI and soundfont playing on iOS vs my issues with beefy.

Up, i have similar problem in ios

.then() promise is never called
how to fix it?

Hello,

I had sound in safari by adding first

	// AudioContext support
	var AudioContext = window.AudioContext // Default
	|| window.webkitAudioContext // Safari and old versions of Chrome

[laven2]

@BoOz Thnx, but it not working for me
I added the context, but it was suspended
I did it AudioContext.resume() and context was launched
after that I initialize instrument and still do not get into then()

[hmoffatt]

You must call resume from a UI event. Sent from my android device.

I think this issue is outside the scope of this project. Probably it would be nice to have a note about it in the README (PR is welcomed).

I'll close the issue, but feel free to reopen in you think we should take some action from within the library.
