The variable gains is declared but never used in playHiHat. Remove it to avoid confusion or use it to store references if you intend to manage nodes later.

Suggested change
const gains = [];

[nitpick] Use a normalized start time to avoid scheduling with a literal 0 and to match the pattern used elsewhere. For example: const t = (time ?? ctx.currentTime); o.start(t); o.stop(t + 0.6);

Suggested change
o.start(time || 0);
o.stop((time || ctx.currentTime) + 0.6);
const t = (time ?? ctx.currentTime);
o.start(t);
o.stop(t + 0.6);

[nitpick] Normalize the schedule time once and reuse it to improve clarity and avoid mixed patterns (time || 0 vs time || ctx.currentTime). Suggestion: const t = (time ?? ctx.currentTime); then use t for all start/stop and parameter automation.

[nitpick] Initialize masterGain from the current slider value so the initial UI state reflects the actual volume. For example: const initial = (typeof volumeSlider !== 'undefined' && volumeSlider) ? (volumeSlider.value/100) : 0.9; masterGain.gain.value = initial;

Suggested change
masterGain.gain.value = 0.9; // master volume
const initial = (typeof volumeSlider !== 'undefined' && volumeSlider) ? (volumeSlider.value/100) : 0.9;
masterGain.gain.value = initial; // master volume

[nitpick] Avoid transition: all; as it can trigger unnecessary repaints/reflows. Limit to the properties that actually change, e.g.: transition: background-color 0.2s ease, border-color 0.2s ease, transform 0.2s ease, color 0.2s ease;

Suggested change
transition: all 0.2s ease;
transition: background 0.2s ease, border-color 0.2s ease, transform 0.2s ease, color 0.2s ease;

[nitpick] Respect prefers-reduced-motion to reduce or remove animations for users who request it. Suggested addition below these rules: @media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce) { .pulse, .status.recording { animation: none; } .drum, .controls button { transition: none; } }

Suggested change

Usage
1. Open `index.html` in a browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge). For best results, open it via a web server (e.g. `python -m http.server`) because some browsers restrict AudioContext on file://.
2. Click a pad or press W/A/S/D to play sounds.

The key list is incomplete compared to the mapping in script.js and index.html. Update to include all keys, e.g.: 'Click a pad or press W/A/S/D/J/K/L/; to play sounds.'

Suggested change
2. Click a pad or press W/A/S/D to play sounds.
