How it's made
- Source
- a stylised energy bolt, not a physical object. A band-limited saw and a square one octave below give a buzzy, harmonically rich "zap" core; a 3 ms white-noise click marks the trigger discharge.
- Body
- a resonant low-pass (Q ≈ 6) follows the pitch down at about 3x the fundamental, so the resonance peak sweeps through the harmonics and makes the vowel-like "pew" squeal.
- Envelope
- the pitch falls exponentially from 3–5 kHz to 150–400 Hz in 0.1–0.3 s (fast drop, steep at first); the level jumps in within 1 ms and decays roughly exponentially to silence by 0.4 s.
- Variation
- `rng` shifts the start pitch by a few percent and detunes the second oscillator slightly; parameters set the sweep depth, length, resonance and brightness; presets give pistol, rifle, heavy and toy.
| Parameter | Range | Default | Unit | Controls |

| length | 0.15 – 0.6 | 0.3 | s | Length |
| resonance | 0 – 1 | 0.6 | — | Resonance |
| brightness | 0 – 1 | 0.7 | — | Brightness |
| grit | 0 – 1 | 0.3 | — | Grit |
