Sample Methods

This content is for v0.7. Switch to the latest version for up-to-date documentation.

Velocity Methods

Velocity controls how hard a sample is hit.

Method	Velocity	Description
`vel(v)`	Custom	Set velocity (0 to infinity)
`ghost()`	0.3	Ghost note (quiet)
`soft()`	0.5	Soft hit
`accent()`	1.0	Accented hit
`loud()`	1.2	Loud hit

drums << [bd.loud sd.soft];        // Loud kick, soft snare
drums << [bd.ghost sd.accent];     // Ghost kick, accented snare
drums << [bd.vel(0.7) sd.vel(1.5)];  // Custom velocities

Transformation Methods

Method	Description
`slice(start, end)`	Play portion of sample [0-1 range]
`reverse()`	Play sample backwards
`pitch(semitones)`	Pitch shift sample
`pan(position)`	Set stereo position [-1.0 to 1.0]

drums << [bd.pitch(12) sd];        // Kick up one octave
drums << [bd.pitch(-5) sd];        // Kick down a fifth
drums << [bd.pan(-1) sd.pan(1)];   // Kick left, snare right
drums << [bd.reverse()];           // Reverse kick

Method Chaining

Methods can be chained for complex transformations:

drums << [bd.loud.pan(-0.3) sd.soft.pitch(2)];
drums << [hh.ghost.pan(-0.5) hh.ghost.pan(0.5)];  // Stereo hats
