About Instrument Editor

Instrument Editor is a web-based tool for creating custom instruments for Petaporon, a music tool. Users import audio samples, set their start, end, and loop points, assign them across the keyboard, adjust sound parameters, and export the result as a ZIP file that can be added to Petaporon.

The developer describes the user interface as "a bit janky" and says it was not originally planned for release. MIDI testing requires webMIDI to be enabled in the browser.
