Card Deal

How it's made

Source

a thumb flicks one card off a deck, it flies a few centimetres and lands flat on a felt or wooden table. Two events: an air-and-paper flick (broadband turbulence, 2–7 kHz) and a landing slap.

Body

the card is a stiff thin sheet, so the slap is a soft low-passed noise burst plus a damped table/air thump (110–260 Hz, 25–60 ms) and a faint paper-plate ring (≈ 1.1–2.4 kHz, 20 ms). A trapped air cushion under the card adds a short 400–900 Hz band of noise.

Envelope

flick swells over 8–15 ms and dies in 40 ms; the slap lands 55–90 ms later with a 1 ms attack and decays within 60 ms; a quiet slide scuff of 30 ms follows. Whole event ≈ 0.2 s.

Variation

`rng` shifts the flight time, the plate tuning (±3 %) and the strengths, so each dealt card differs slightly. Macros: `speed` shortens the flight and brightens the flick, `surface` moves the slap from felt (dull, absorbed) to wood (bright, ringing), `stiffness` sets how much plate ring and snap the card has.
