Yeah, it's not always an answer, but sometimes it is! And it's easy.
So I try it!

It'd probably be similar to .chan() syntax.

I think it's just to get the particular sound you get when a new voice
is fired at regular intervals... I don't know what kind of noise he's
recording, but when I tried it sounded kind of nifty. 'Cause his code
differs from the example script he seems to have copied.
