A few notes on playing

Gather & Land records up to 8 seconds of your movement. Lower on the pad means faster, brighter strokes. Release adds the final accent. Assisted endings wait for the next beat; free endings follow your release.

Strike & Spill begins with one long hit. Drag downward to spend some of its ringing body on smaller, higher hits. Spending only moves forward within a take. Release lets the cascade finish.

Compare and keep replays use the captured gesture and sound. Automatic and Plain compare a fixed gesture with your phrase. Use this example makes that comparison editable. Damping the ring is captured in the phrase. WAV exports include the ringing tail; output volume only changes your listening level.

Everything stays here. Both voices are synthesized. No microphone or uploaded samples are needed. Kept phrases live in this browser; download WAV to take a sound with you. These gestures use an internal clock, not DAW sync.
