I don't like creating a lot of audio nodes on the fly for that reason. Beat Maker re-renders the audio to a buffer any time a value is changed. The audio engine is very efficient, literally playing one static buffer on loop. For the browser/OS this is basically memcpy, which is cheap, and does not take place on the GUI thread.
