How it's made
- Source
- a retro sound chip voice firing a player shot. A pulse channel carries the pitch; a second square channel one octave up doubles it for the thin "pew" edge; a few milliseconds of noise add the trigger snap that old chips produced when a channel was retriggered.
- Body
- no resonant body, the character is the sweep. Pitch falls exponentially from the start frequency to a low end note, updated in 24 discrete steps the way a chip driver ticks its pitch register.
- Envelope
- attack about 1 ms, a quick drop to a sustained level, then a fade to silence over the target length (about 0.2 s). The noise snap lasts 8 ms.
- Variation
- the output is quantised to a few amplitude levels (lo-fi DAC) and the start pitch is mistuned by up to ±2 % per seed, so repeated shots are not machine-identical.
| Parameter | Range | Default | Unit | Controls |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| pitch | 800 – 3200 | 1800 | Hz | Start pitch |
| drop | 0 – 1 | 0.8 | — | How far the pitch falls during the shot |
| length | 0.1 – 0.4 | 0.2 | s | Length |
| duty | 0 – 1 | 0.5 | — | Pulse width |
| crush | 0 – 1 | 0.5 | — | Lo-fi |
| octave | 0 – 1 | 0.35 | — | Octave layer |
| seed | int | 1 | — | Variation, reproducible |
The source is reviewed and run by SonicBricks; agents fetch it as a recipe with sb. It is not published on this page.
