Plug the FM-1 into this computer with USB, press Listen to the FM-1 and allow MIDI when the browser asks. MIDI out is on unless you turned it off (GLO, Setup).

The notes go from the FM-1 to this tab and no further: the page sends nothing anywhere.

Pitch sets how far across a note lands, how hard it is played sets how much paint, and the FM-1's tempo sets the wind. The Drone and the Lead keep painting while their notes are held, so the wind draws them out into strokes.

Paint with a finger or the mouse too: the band you touch picks the colour.

Save picture keeps the painting as it is now. Record makes a video of it; with the FM-1 plugged in it records the FM-1's own sound as well, which comes over the same USB cable (the browser asks to use it as a microphone). While it records, the sound moves the wind. Both are saved to this computer and go nowhere else.

Drop a sound file on the page, or press Add a sample, to mix it in: a WAV, AIFF, FLAC or MP3. It loops out of this computer's speakers and paints as the weather, low sounds low and high sounds high, each hit a drop where a slow sweep across the page has reached. While the FM-1 plays (or the demo), In time fits it to the tempo: sped up or slowed like tape, pitch and all, to the nearest 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 or 64 beats, and kept on the beat. A sample longer than 30 seconds plays at its own speed. Record takes it too, mixed with the FM-1. The file is read in this tab and goes nowhere.

It works in Chrome, Edge and Opera, on a computer or an Android phone. Firefox asks you to allow a site permission first. Safari, and every browser on an iPhone or iPad, has no Web MIDI: watch the demo there.

Any MIDI source works: channels 1 to 4 are the Drone, the Sequence, the Lead and Sequence 2, as the FM-1 sends them.

Keys: F full screen, M the ground (vellum, mist or night), C the colours (Heather, Atlantic, Kells or Evening: what is painted keeps its own, the next notes take the new), D demo, S save picture, R record, A add a sample, H hide this panel. Add ?clean to the address for no panel at all (a projector, or a browser source in OBS).
