p5.sound.js

p5.sound.js extends the musical and sonic capabilities of p5.js. It is designed to be a minimal abstraction of the Tone.js library with a feature set that is inspired by p5.js's apporach to accessible and poetic creative coding. Key functionalities include audio input, sound file playback and manipulation, effects, synthesis and analysis.
