Public studio pack

The deployed WAV files are generated from our own deterministic tone, rhythm, formant and seeded-noise synthesis code. No third-party samples or competitor recordings are included.

Open recording credits

Each recording retains its own license. Instrument excerpts are not presented as traditional songs from a particular country. Use of a recording does not imply endorsement by its creator.

Deployable fallback

If a studio WAV cannot load, the browser can still render the original procedural recipe so a temporary asset failure does not end a run.

Local study set

The current development checkout can load selected downloaded WAVs from a Git-ignored public cache to reproduce and inspect the complete interaction loop.

Research boundary

The staged WAVs are local implementation references, not licensed product content. They are excluded from Git and Cloudflare static-asset upload.

What an original studio reference contains

A studio reference is a short composition of tones, pulses, shaped noise and pauses. Its recipe specifies when each event begins, how long it lasts and how its pitch or intensity changes. Rendering that recipe creates the public 4.5-second WAV used by the game. The recipe also gives the browser a deterministic fallback when a studio file cannot be fetched. A playful name such as Emotional Damage, Notification or Retro Chorus identifies our prompt; it does not mean that the file contains a commercial recording, a film scene or an operating-system sample.

Reading an open-recording credit

The four Arabic pilot recordings have separate source pages and CC0 1.0 records. Follow a recording title above to inspect its source, then follow its license link to read the applicable dedication. The catalog stores the creator, source URL, license URL, verification date and SHA-256 file hash. A hash identifies the particular deployed file; it is not a substitute for permission. Modification notes explain the excerpt and processing where recorded. An instrument prompt describes what you hear and does not establish that a recording represents an entire country or tradition.

What permission applies to reuse

The original studio pack has its own public license notice: it may be distributed as part of this Mimic Party website and its study builds, with other rights reserved. That notice is different from the CC0 records for the open pilot. Do not assume that every sound on a website has the same reuse terms. Check the specific file and its source before copying it into another project, and contact the operator if the provenance is unclear. A credit describes a source; it does not grant rights belonging to another creator.

Studio themes and song previews are different

Reaction Studio, Wild Voices, Rhythm Lab and Melody Club each select nine references from the studio catalog. Their quick voice sets use a warm-up, a middle sound and a finale. The separate Song Guessing Game instead plays Apple Music preview URLs directly from Apple’s catalog in the browser. Those song recordings and titles belong to their respective owners and are not included in the studio license. We do not host copies of the song previews. A source link or preview URL should not be interpreted as permission to redistribute a commercial track.

How to inspect the sounds before playing

Open the sound library to see the names, prompts and preview controls for each curated theme. Listening to a reference does not request microphone access. Compare a preview with its prompt and use the source information here when you need to understand how it was made. The sound memory game uses four original studio clips and answer buttons, while voice modes ask for a separate microphone choice. The reference audio and a player’s recording have separate lifecycles and purposes.

Report a missing or incorrect credit

If you believe a recording is mislabeled or its source notice is incomplete, use the Contact page. Include the public sound name, the page where you found it, and a relevant source or license link. A voice recording, a private room invitation or personal information is unnecessary for a provenance question. The operator can review the catalog entry and correct the public explanation. Mimic Party is an independent browser project; these credits do not imply endorsement by FoliesAPP, Valve, Apple, an artist or an open-recording contributor.
