'''Rules for GD’s Custom Instrument Archive V2'''

'''Inclusivity First'''
This archive is open to all creators. Any instrument may be added as long as it:
* Is made in Online Sequencer
* Has clear instructions
* Has an example sequence
No instrument is removed just because someone dislikes how it sounds.

'''Reworking Instead of Deleting'''
If an instrument needs improvement:
* Do NOT delete it
* You may rework or improve it
* Credit the original creator
* Alternate versions are allowed

'''Credit Creators'''
Every entry must include:
* Creator name
* Link to OS profile
* Example sequence

'''Clear Instructions'''
Entries must include:
* Base instrument
* All slider values
* Any special techniques (pseudo‑sustain, layering, etc.)

'''Respectful Collaboration'''
* No insults
* No hostile edit summaries
* No deleting entries without discussion
* Improvements should be constructive

'''Experimental Sounds Allowed'''
Stylized, distorted, unrealistic, or unconventional sounds are welcome.

'''Organization'''
* Keep formatting consistent
* Use correct categories
* Include images when helpful

'''Versioning'''
If you improve an instrument:
* Add it as “V2” or “Alternate Version”
* Do not overwrite the original
* Credit both creators

'''No Gatekeeping'''
Quality is subjective. This archive exists to avoid the gatekeeping issues of the main archive.

'''Follow OS Wiki Standards'''

How to create:

* Select synthesizer or create a clone.
* Set the waveform to sawtooth
* Set the filter to lowpass and set the frequency to somewhere around 1200
* Change the LFO to pitch, and set the intensity to 5
* click on the ASDR envelope and set the attack, decay, and release to 0. Then, set the sustain to around 0.5.

[[File:Screenshot 2026-02-13 164202.png|thumb|269x269px|Synthesizer settings for oboe|none]]

To make the oboe more realistic, use markers to increase the pitch LFO intensity on long sustains.

=== Oboe 2 ===
Creator: [https://onlinesequencer.net/members/70888 ewrruewc]

How to create:

* Select flute or create a clone.
* Set the reverb to Classic (100%)
* Set the distortion to hornet (100%)
* Lower the mid and high Eqs to -10
* Lower the low Eq to -48

you will need to psuedo sustain for notes longer than a quarter note but it works well for shorter notes

=== Bagpipes ===
Creator: [https://onlinesequencer.net/members/164397 spira.]

How to create:

* Select synthesizer or create a clone.
* Set the waveform to sawtooth
* Set the filter to lowpass and set the frequency to somewhere around 1200
* Set the resonance all the way up to 10
* Change the LFO to pitch, and set the intensity to 5
* click on the ASDR envelope and set the attack to 0.60, the decay to 0.90, the sustain to 0.60, and the release to 0

[[File:Bagpipes.png|thumb|269x269px|Synthesizer settings for bagpipes|none]]

* In advanced options, set Large Reverb to around 0.30

* Click distortion and set it to Hornet with an intensity of 0.55
* Click EQ and set the High EQ to around 9
* Set the detune to -1200 (optional)

[[File:Bagpipes2.png|thumb|Advanced options for bagpipes|none]]

Now, make a clone of the bagpipe, and set the detune to about 10-20 cents above the first synth. Layer both on top of each other to get the bagpipe sound.

=== Ragtime Piano Sustain ===
Creator: Unknown

How to create:

* Create your desired melody with grand piano
* Create a clone and detune it about 20 cents higher than the latter.
* Layer it on top of the other piano.
This is very simple, but it is included because it is very practical.
