@@ -3,6 +3,8 @@ How to add a new sample sound

* Find a sample under a free/libre open-source (FOSS) license.

* The sample has to have only one note (pitch) through out the audio and the volume has to be 50 . The longer the sample, the better it is.

I don't understand what you are saying here. Also, a long sample length is not always appropriate or better.

I agree with his first three points, but not the last one. It really depends on the instrument. Maybe you can use the "check box" approach he used in the comment. I think it is clearer than the wording you used.

I will use checkbox and remove the longer tones part for now.


* [ ] Only one pitch (no melodic movement)

* [ ] After tuning the synth, use your ear and ask yourself "does this pitch sound the similar" (Audacity can be used to some extent for fundamental pitch)[Audacity](https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/change_pitch.html).

Can you please clarify: "does this pitch sound the similar"? I think you don't need "the". But, similar to what?

It means constant frequency throughout the sample. In issue #1485 he mentioned about English Horn and vibraphone playing two notes.

So perhaps you should say: "does this sound have a constant frequency throughout the sample?"
