Manual

Record

When record is set, sound will automatically convert to a wav/ogg sample when played. The length of the sample is determined by the length of the main envelope. If the individual voice envelopes are shorter than the main envelopes, the sample will be longer than neccessary. .wav files are mono and .ogg files are stereo by default.

Append

If recording to the .ogg format, files can be appended to make one large file rather than individual ones. This is helpful if you need to convert files before slicing them. This is currently not possible with the .wav format.

Auto / Manual

With Auto set, files will automatically download each time the play button is pressed if set to record. With manual click the link that appears or right click the player to download.

Add Voice

No limit is put on how many voices can be used, beyond what the computer can handle.

Keys On/Off

Keys On will enable Keyboard Shortcuts listed below. Off will allow the browser to use the default keyboard settings.

Noise

The noise button, when turned off, will turn the noise level of each voice to 0. It will also keep the noise at 0 on all voices when randomized.

Click / Noise

This adds a sample of noise or an impulse to provide a transient to accentuate the attack.

Filename

By default, the sample will be saved with the name "drum-" and a number attached to the end. The text can be changed in the filename box. The number can be changed in the second box. The number will auto-increment with each sample recorded.
