Sound boards:

• Janick shafer https://www.audioh.com/projects/triphonic.html - modified a turntable and the key feature is that it has three arms. Three needles that could be placed independently on the record. It could travel and be used as a performance kit. Turntableism - working with the turntable specifically as an object. Very physical practice.

A library built on the web audio API, widely available and integrated in browsers. It builds on a paradigm model that you see in a lot of software.
