This is so dang cool. I’m sorry that all people can do is complain!

This is brilliant! I wish I had seen this a few years back!
Q: Generating higher quality sounds with a specified duration (e.g. within a 300ms margin) -- is it possible with your approach, is it hard, how would you go about that?
I'm asking because a few years back I had an idea for a breathwork/meditation app that would allow you to connect / control the breath duration using a gong sound. Example pattern: 4s in, 4s wait, 8-10s out. Next: use a feedback loop with the real user breathing pattern, slowly extend towards the goal.
Ended up with scaling it down to a "dot to stare at" + basic gong, because I realised how ridiculously chromatically complex the sound is. (my approach was to synthesise an envelope with a shape determined by time -- pity the fool who thought it was easy or even made sense!)
I got +100k people visiting it and still a couple dozen daily users running a 5+ min session, so I'm happy with it. But, the itch is still there, so I'd love to revisit my old nemesis so to speak :)

This is very fun to play with and design different drums. I was able to make one that had 4 connected but distinct regions giving different pitches, then within each of those regions (which look like 4 lobes of different sizes) where you tap on that region will further change the sound! Then I realized I basically just made a hand pan.

Separate to the concerns about privacy others have, I found some ear-splitting pitch errors with making very narrow asterisk-shaped drums with a number of spokes not divisible by 2 or 3. Good thing my volume was low.

This website has a list of data vendors 200 pages long, and it forces you to uncheck each one if you don't consent. I decided to close the tab rather than deal with this illegal dark pattern.

This reminds me of a tongue drum I have. Have you thought about building an iterative solver for specific scales?
It would be interesting if you could simulate and then print (or laser cut) your own instrument on demand.
