Pipe
Set the pipe length across ten orders of magnitude. The readout reports the fundamental frequency, mode count, and acoustic regime.
—
Reference heights share the pipe’s scale. Pipe width is schematic. Earth is shown beside the straight pipe.

Digital Medium
The sample rate sets the represented frequency band, and the bit depth sets the output resolution.
Resonator
A bidirectional delay line produces the harmonic series mechanically. The table reports the phase dispersion of the fractional-delay interpolator.

| Mode (n) | Target f | Realised f | Delay | Deviation |
|---|
Air
Set the three parameters used to derive the scale height, acoustic cutoff frequency, and critical pipe length.
Limits
This panel compares the physical failure modes of the atmospheric column with the representational limits of the digital medium.
Render
Render the waveguide sample by sample into an uncompressed WAV file at its true rate.
Score
Export the current pipe, atmosphere, and digital medium settings as a plain Markdown score.
Rank
Several pipes sounding at once. The vertical axis is pipe length, not pitch, because past the hearing floor there is no note to place on a pitch axis. Click to place a pipe, drag it to move it, drag its right edge to change how long the pallet stays open.

Rank score
The rank, what the set does against the two thresholds, and what it asks of the allocation ceiling, as plain Markdown. At the long end this is the only form the composition has, since the render is unlistenable and in places cannot be allocated at all.
