About dunsy.app
This is an open source project - you can access the code at dunsy GitHub repository.
The core of this website - the GroovyPlayer - is built with MIDISounds & WebAudioFont libraries.
This is currently a one man project. If by any chance you would like to help building dunsy and you are familiar with web development - message me any time. If you want to contribute your drumming talents or whatever else from the muggle-in-the-software world - that would also be appreciated.
