Web audio synthesis API?

Is there a web audio API for generating sounds with something like General MIDI synthesis? I just need simple clicks or pitches. The only web audio documentation I can find is for playback of embedded mp3/wav files, which I don't think is an ideal approach for what I want to do.

In Web Audio API you have the Oscillator Node to create your own sounds as a synth.

Here you have a very good introduction:

There is an API for that, but it's not supported on all browsers (support table). It's called Web Audio API, here's a link to samples from MDN: Web Audio
