DrPond Band


You can use a local audio file instead of the notes in your program. When you load a file, the system will assume that file should be used when playing music with a DrPond picture. To go back to not using the player: click the cancel button. (the audio player can still be used to play that file without using DrPond)

Load Audio File:

Save/load your work to/from a local file. For save, the text part of the program will be saved to your browser's download directory (does not include saving audio files). Files can be loaded from other locations (this does not include loading an audio file).

Saving your work as a media file

Play and record the program. The result is stored in a media player that appears after the buttons. When the record button is pressed, the picture is built in the animation window at the top and the results are accumulated for the recorder. The recorder stops when the drawing is finished. (The status line by the main picture will show Ready when done.) If the audio needs to last a little longer, add an additional rest after the graphics. There are 3 different record buttons, to choose whether you want both audio and video or just one of them.

You can review what you have done by playing the video. You can save the result by right-clicking on the player and selecting save or by clicking on the download icon in the video player. The default chosen type will be a webm file (if using Chrome). Later, you can rename the file if you saved it with the download icon.

Clicking on the file will load a web based video/audio player which can play the file. An audio file can also be used as the music file for another project.
