How it's made
- Source
- generic wing stridulation; each stroke combines a tonal wing mode with band-limited friction.
- Body
- individuals resonate around 3.6–5.7 kHz, spread by 12%; a weak second mode adds wing texture. Distant individuals lose the upper mode and friction; no room reverberation is baked into the field.
- Envelope
- 3–6 strokes form a chirp, spaced 29–39 ms apart with 3 ms attacks and 8 ms releases. Slight downward tuning within each chirp models relaxed wing tension, rather than electronic beeps.
- Chorus
- 4–20 independently phased callers repeat at 0.7–2.5 chirps/s, with timing jitter and rests. A quiet far cohort and louder near callers occupy stable stereo positions with unequal levels.
- Variation
- seeded tuning, stroke strength, pulse spacing and call timing; a 10 s crossfaded loop. Presets change population, temperature-like cadence, tuning, pulse count and perspective together.
