Enable Syrinscape

1. Copy your auth token from your Syrinscape account at syrinscape.com/account/auth-token.
2. Paste it into the Syrinscape Auth Token setting.
3. Turn on Enable Syrinscape.

The integration stays off until both settings are filled in.

How the table hears it

Minstrel uses your token to host a Syrinscape session. Each player’s client joins that session, including players who connect later. Players need no token of their own. The auth token is a world setting, and every connected client can read it, players’ clients included.

Syrinscape plays on the Environment channel, labeled Ambience in the mixer. Syrinscape music also follows each user’s Music volume, and one-shots follow Interface volume.

The Syrinscape Browser

The cloud button with the Import from Syrinscape tooltip opens the Syrinscape Browser. It sits in the Moods tab header and in the Soundboard header on the Ambience tab. It appears only while Syrinscape is enabled.

Pick a soundset from the dropdown to list its Moods and One-Shots. Preview plays a row for the whole table. Add as mood creates a Minstrel mood that plays the Syrinscape mood. Add as pad creates a soundboard pad for a one-shot.

Syrinscape in a Minstrel mood

The mood editor’s Syrinscape section has three fields. Type picks a Syrinscape mood or a single element, Syrinscape ID is its ID, and Soundset is the soundset it belongs to. Add as mood in the browser fills all three. Without a Soundset, element rows show IDs instead of names.

Applying the Minstrel mood plays its Syrinscape mood or element, and stopping the Minstrel mood stops it.

Volume

While a Syrinscape mood plays, the Mixer tab shows a Syrinscape strip. You also see a row for each element of the mood, with a fader that sets that element’s volume for the whole session. The mood editor shows the same rows in its Sound effects section while that mood plays.

The fader on the Syrinscape strip sets Syrinscape volume on your client only. The Now Playing bar volume control sets the same local volume while the bar shows Syrinscape, and players get this control on their own bar.

Stop Syrinscape

A stop button on the mixer’s Syrinscape strip stops everything playing in Syrinscape. The same button sits next to the soundset dropdown in the browser. The console transport and the Now Playing bar also show it while Syrinscape is the source on display, and only the GM sees it on the Now Playing bar. The console shows Syrinscape while no playlist track or video is playing.

An element row’s stop button stops only that element. Turning off Enable Syrinscape also stops everything.
