Web Audio API Note On

Question

I am attempting to build an interface that allows timing / rhythm (potentially pitch) input to a Web Audio Oscillator node. in effect creating a 'step sequencer'.

What's the best way to trigger scheduled NoteOn for the Web Audio API Oscillator Nodes?

In a specific pattern, i.e. 1/4 notes, 1/8th notes or a user entered pattern.

This is a great question, and in fact I just published an HTML5Rocks article on this very topic: http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/audio/scheduling/.
