Volca Sample Breakbeat Embalmer

A browser-based tool that automates the procedure described in Chris Lody's tutorial for prepping breakbeats for sample chopping on the Korg Volca Sample.

VSBE embalms the dead sounds of yesterday, readying them to be chopped and sequenced into the new sounds of tomorrow.

How To Use:

  1. Select an audio file on your local machine.
  2. Breakbeat Embalmer measures its length in samples.
  3. Breakbeat Embalmer calculates the amount of silence to be added, based on the standard of original file length × 0.11111.
  4. It appends that silence to the end of the original audio file and allows you to export the result as a new WAV.
  5. Transfer the resulting file to your Volca Sample, using your preferred sample transfer utility.

Runs best in Chrome.
