    <p>I've just registered for a stackoverflow account, in order to re-post, and answer, a question that was previously closed - for, if you ask me, insufficient rationale.</p> <p>Here is the (basic) question, as phrased to me by a colleague yesterday: Did the Google Bob Moog birthday doodle use the w3c audio API recommendation, as currently only implemented in Chrome (and only on certain platforms).</p> <p>This question grabbed me because I've been working with said API intensively recently. Here is a jsfiddle (not my work) using the essential API calls: <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/also/6bM3w/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://jsfiddle.net/also/6bM3w/</a></p> <p>I think it's of tremendous interest, in general, how google deployed a realtime, sample-accurate (and, even, recordable), analogue of the modular audio-synthesis technology that Mr. Moog pioneered ... that is, especially of interest: how they deployed it /across/ browsers.</p> <p>The answer is provided in this article: <a href="http://mashable.com/2012/05/23/googles-moog-doodle-the-inside-story/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://mashable.com/2012/05/23/googles-moog-doodle-the-inside-story/</a> -- in short: "Hurst [the author of the code in question] said Google recently added the Web Audio API to Google Chrome. It provides, he said, “Really high-quality, low-latency audio” in the browser, but not in all Web browsers. Outside of Chrome, the Moog Doodle turns into pure Flash.</p> <p>... This is tremendously exciting and timely stuff. And I'm sure the question was only closed with the best intentions, but, I'd say you jumped the gun.</p> <p>The original, closed question, for reference: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10711631/how-does-the-google-doodle-celebrating-robert-moog-generate-the-sounds">How does the Google Doodle celebrating Robert Moog generate the sounds?</a></p>
