Sample library

The studio library includes original machine-voice phrases, sustained vowels, glass and metal hits, a tape thump and a rising transition. These sounds ship with dawg. They work offline and can be reused in your own music under the included CC0 dedication.

Adding a sound preserves existing music. An occupied instrument or keyed sampler gets a separate sample track; compatible one-shot samplers can collect more voices. Chopping creates a new sampler with one voice per slice and notes you can play, move, transpose or reorder. Undo removes the score edit. Imported audio stays in the project.
