Field notes
The homepage’s browser demo exposes the same 15 sound choices described for the Mac app, including buckling-spring keyboards and two typewriters. Its account of the audio pipeline says strikes are separated from their key-up sounds, longer Space, Return, and Delete sounds are kept apart, and the samples are sorted by natural loudness into four bands. The app is listed at about 16 MB, with an audio buffer of about 5 ms.
