There are 8 empty channels by default:

$ curl -X GET http://localhost:5000
{
  "0": "function () { return 0 }",
  "1": "function () { return 0 }",
  "2": "function () { return 0 }",
  "3": "function () { return 0 }",
  "4": "function () { return 0 }",
  "5": "function () { return 0 }",
  "6": "function () { return 0 }",
  "7": "function () { return 0 }"
}

Upload a javascript snippet to a track with PUT:

$ curl -sST example/baseline.js http://localhost:5000/3
created audio channel 3

Read the source for a track with a GET:

$ curl http://localhost:5000/3
function (t, i) {
    // baseline
    var f = 800 * Math.pow(2, Math.floor(t * 4 % 4) / 6);
    return Math.sin(t * f * Math.PI)
        * Math.pow(Math.sin(t * 8 * Math.PI), 2)
    ;
}

Add more tracks with more PUTS.

To reset a track back to return 0, send a DELETE:

$ curl -X DELETE http://localhost:5000/3
deleted channel 3

To adjust the volume of a channel, send a POST:

$ curl -X POST -d volume=0.5 http://localhost:5000/3
