Using the pre-provided tone.min.js (global Tone), build a playable piano keyboard controlled by mouse and computer keys that synthesizes notes with an ADSR envelope and visual key feedback.
thinking
We need to create index.html with inline CSS and JS, using tone.min.js provided locally. Build a playable piano keyboard with mouse and computer keys, synthesizes notes with ADSR envelope, visual key feedback. We need to check if tone.min.js exists in current directory. Let's list.
{"command":"ls -la","description":"List files in workspace"}total 388 drwxrwxrwx 3 node node 96 Jul 22 17:51 . drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4096 Jul 22 17:51 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 node node 349169 Jul 22 17:51 tone.min.js
thinking
Good, tone.min.js is present. Now we need to write index.html with a piano keyboard. We'll create a single-page app with:
- HTML structure: a container for piano keys (white and black keys)
- CSS for styling keys, visual feedback (active state)
- JavaScript using Tone.js to create synth with ADSR envelope, handle mouse events (mousedown, mouseup, mouseleave) and keyboard events (keydown, keyup) mapping computer keys to notes.
We need to decide key mapping. Typically, a piano keyboard: white keys: C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C... Black keys: C#, D#, F#, G#, A#. For computer keyboard, we can map a row of keys to white keys and another row to black keys. For example, use "asdfghjkl;'" for white keys (starting from C4) and "wetyuop[" for black keys (sharps). Or use "zxcvbnm,./" for white and "sdfghjkl" for black? Let's choose a common mapping:
White keys (starting at C4): a, s, d, f, g, h, j, k, l, ;, ' (maybe 11 keys)
Black keys: w, e, t, y, u, o, p, [ (8 keys)
But we need to generate a keyboard with multiple octaves? Let's keep it simple: one octave plus one extra key (C4 to C5). That's 13 keys (8 white, 5 black). We'll map computer keys accordingly.
We'll create a mapping object from key code to note.
We'll use Tone.js: create a PolySynth or multiple MonoSynths? Since we want polyphony, we can use Tone.PolySynth with a simple synth (e.g., Tone.Synth) with envelope. ADSR envelope: we can set envelope on the synth's envelope property.
Tone.Synth has an envelope property (attack, decay, sustain, release). We'll set those.
We'll also need to start audio context on user interaction (click). We'll add a button to start audio context or just resume on first interaction.
Visual feedback: when key pressed (mouse or keyboard), add a class "active" to the key element, remove on release.
We'll generate keys programmatically in JS for flexibility.
Let's outline the HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Playable Piano</title>
<style> ... </style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="piano"></div>
<script src="tone.min.js"></script>
<script> ... </script>
</body>
</html>
Now CSS: style the piano container, keys. White keys: width, height, background white, border, black keys: absolute positioned, narrower, taller? Actually black keys are shorter and sit on top. We'll use a typical layout: white keys as flex items, black keys positioned relative to white keys.
Simpler: create a container with position relative, white keys as divs with class "key white", black keys as divs with class "key black" positioned absolutely with left offsets.
We'll generate in JS: create white keys for each note in the octave, and black keys for sharps.
Notes array for white keys: ['C4','D4','E4','F4','G4','A4','B4','C5'] (8 white keys). Black keys: ['C#4','D#4','F#4','G#4','A#4'] (5 black keys). Their positions: black keys between certain white keys.
We'll map computer keys:
White keys mapping: 'a','s','d','f','g','h','j','k' (8 keys) for C4 to C5? Actually 8 white keys, we have 8 computer keys. Let's use 'a','s','d','f','g','h','j','k' for C4 to C5. Black keys mapping: 'w','e','t','y','u' for C#4, D#4, F#4, G#4, A#4. That's 5 keys.
We'll create a mapping from key character to note.
Now JS:
- Wait for Tone.js to load (since script src is before our script, it's global Tone).
- Create synth: const synth = new Tone.PolySynth(Tone.Synth, { envelope: { attack: 0.02, decay: 0.1, sustain: 0.3, release: 1 } }).toDestination();
- Actually Tone.Synth options: oscillator, envelope. We'll set envelope.
- Audio context: need to start on user interaction. We'll add a click handler on document to start Tone.start().
- Generate piano keys in #piano container.
- For each white key, create div, set data-note, add event listeners for mousedown, mouseup, mouseleave, touchstart, touchend.
- For black keys, similar.
- Keyboard event listeners: keydown and keyup on window. Map key to note, trigger synth.triggerAttack(note) and triggerRelease(note). Also add/remove active class.
- Prevent default for keys to avoid scrolling.
- Visual feedback: add class 'active' to key element when pressed.
- Also handle mouse events: on mousedown, trigger attack; on mouseup/mouseleave, trigger release.
- For touch events: similar.
- Ensure we don't double trigger if key already pressed.
We'll keep a set of currently pressed notes to avoid retrigger.
Now write the code.
Let's create the index.html file./workspace/index.html (8361 bytes)Successfully wrote 8361 bytes to /workspace/index.html
thinking
We have created index.html. Need to ensure it's correct. Check that tone.min.js is loaded before script. It is. Ensure no external resources. All good.
The file **index.html** has been created in the current directory. It contains a fully self‑contained, single‑page piano app that: * Loads the local `tone.min.js` (global `Tone`). * Builds an 8‑white‑key / 5‑black‑key keyboard (C4–C5) with CSS‑only visual feedback. * Synthesizes notes via a `Tone.PolySynth` using a triangle oscillator and an ADSR envelope (attack 0.02 s, decay 0.1 s, sustain 0.3, release 1 s). * Responds to mouse/touch presses and to computer‑keyboard keys (`a s d f g h j k` for white keys, `w e t y u` for black keys). * Starts the AudioContext on the first user interaction. * Cleans up the synth on page unload. Open **index.html** in a browser to play the piano.
TAKE IT TO CODE
A single self-contained HTML file — copy it and open in any browser, or reuse the prompt with your own pi-agent run.
RUN
EVALUATION
Piano UI renders with labeled keys; drag shows key highlight, but click/scroll/keyboard shortcuts show no visible response.

MEASUREMENTS
Raw readings from the capture, not a verdict — the grade above is the only judgement. Percentages are how much of the screen changed; the measure under-reports sparse motion on a dark background.
