BG3 Bard Player

All of the noise, none of the fun.

A simple player for the bard songs in Baldur's Gate 3. Select a song, select some instruments and play!

Why?

After I extracted and converted the sounds from the game (if you ever want to do this yourself, I made my scripts available), I saw a folder for all the bard music. That afternoon I threw the initial version of this site together... then spent the next week actually making it good.

How?

Whenever you select a song, the site creates 6 <audio> elements, and when you click the play button they're all started at the same time. That way they stay in sync. Turning on/off instruments just changes their volume to 100% and 0% respectively.

Don't ask about the CSS behind the image spritesheet.
