Configuration

Sound is the configuration page for Virtual.ink capture-flow audio. It lets you choose a pack, preview it, and decide which cues play during countdown, capture, processing, and completion.

Presets

The preset strip includes these built-in options:

Silent
Default
Classic
Arcade
Zen
8bit
Noir
Celestial
Rubber
Telegraph
Sakura

Selecting a preset changes both the sound pack and the per-phase defaults.

If you manually edit settings until they match a known preset again, the page can resolve back to that preset automatically.

Preview

The preview button plays a short staged demo of the current recipe:

countdown
capture
processing
completion

Preview is unavailable while Silent is selected or before the active pack finishes loading.

Global Settings

Setting	What it does
Volume	Master output level for the sound engine
Time signature	Choose `4/4` or `3/4` for the beat grid
Riser	Enable or disable the pre-capture riser

Countdown

The Countdown section controls what plays before capture starts.

Tick enables beat ticks during countdown
Drone adds a sustained background layer during countdown

Capture

The Capture section controls audio while the action is actively running.

Available controls:

Tick
Drone
Start cue
End cue
Subdivision: 1x, 2x, 4x, or 8x

Subdivision changes how dense the tick pattern feels during capture.

Processing

The Processing section controls audio after capture while the result is being finalized.

Available controls:

Tick
Drone
Subdivision: 1x, 2x, 4x, or 8x

Success

The Success section controls the completion cue.

Chime plays a finishing sound when the recipe completes

How The Sound Flow Works

The sound engine uses one continuous recipe across the session.

In practice that means countdown can flow directly into capture, then transition into processing, then finish with the success chime instead of acting like four unrelated sound effects.

Saving

Sound settings save automatically, so the selected pack and cue settings come back on the next launch.

Availability

The Sound page appears in Virtual.ink's Config group.
