I'm not sure if this is a bug or a "feature" but for certain combinations of instruments and loudness and/or gain settings, there are playback issues, with playback jitter, slowdown and clipping.
I'm running Firefox 83.0. Here is a minimal example that causes jitter on my system:
The specific note is the 24 in the sequence that causes the jitter. Putting more notes of equal or greater value causes more jitter. Also, decreasing the loudness parameter to 1 causes the jitter to go away.
Note that the 24 note in the sequence is upwards of a7 or so, which I assume is on the high end of the note range.
Other instruments with certain note and loudness settings causes similar slowdown/jitter issues. I've encountered it enough, especially with the Monosynth's, that I have to be cautious about what note, loudness and instrument combinations I use.
I've encountered similar jitter/slowdown issues with shoving weird parameters in synthesizers in a wide range of applications so I suspect this is the nature of doing complex synthesizer manipulation in software. I hesitate to open an issue as it might either be something that takes too much work to fix or caused by the underlying audio API but I thought I'd pass along anyway.
