Editing worlds

Use edit mode to add, delete, and move audio and effect objects to design your own world. Then use the main menu to save your world to a file or to the server.

The editing mode screen is split to show views of the 3D space from above and from the side. Press and hold the arrow keys (↑, ↓, ←, and →) to pan and zoom the view positions.

Adding Objects

Click the empty space in the window where you wish to add an object. A dialog box will appear showing all available audio and effect objects. Objects already included in your world are noted with a bullet point ("•"). To hear a preview of an audio object, simply click on it. To add a new object to your world, check the box next to it and click the "add checked" button.

At this time, it is not possible to upload your own sounds to add as audio objects in the space; our server space is limited. You can only choose from the sounds listed in the dialog box.

Moving and Deleting Objects

To move an object, simply drag it. If the object is a sample object, you will hear a preview of the sound while you are positioning it. The name of the object is displayed in the bottom right corner of the screen while you drag it.

To delete an object, right click (or on Mac, control-click) it.
