Expected: interesting sounds
Actual: after about 20 or 30 keys, the audio sounds distorted and broken (dont' do this with loud volume a headset on)
Once it's in this state, it even happens in Chrome. If I kill the audio service via sudo killall coreaudiod, it does not reproduce in Chrome. But I can then re-trigger in Firefox.

Alex, would you mind taking a first pass on triaging this?

I can reproduce it in Linux. The faster I press the keys the bigger the distortion is. I am having the same results in Release, probably it is a long-standing issue. I set it for now under WebAudio and we can update when we know better what the problem is. Paul can you please try it under profiler?

This website is not written properly: it's creating a new synth and a new full effect chain each key press, and not cleaning up its resources.It's trivial to make it glitch regardless of the browser, but indeed it's a bit easier to have it glitch on Firefox.
