## What it is
A React library for making music and beats declaratively using components like Song, Sequencer, Sampler, and Synth. It renders audio via the Web Audio API through a component-based API.

## Use cases
- make beats with react
- create music in the browser with components
- build a step sequencer in javascript
- play synth and sampler patterns declaratively
- prototype drum loops in a web app

## When to choose
- you want a declarative React API for sequencing beats and synths
- you're building a browser-based music demo or toy

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained library or modern React support
- you need advanced audio production features or DAW-grade tooling

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: audio-processing, ui-components, animation
- domain: web-development, frontend, media, entertainment
- platform: browser
