How it's made

Source
a retro game-console speaker driven by a band-limited square voice, played as two short notes.
Body
each note is a square wave (odd harmonics) softened by a low-pass that closes during the note, plus a quiet octave-down sine that gives the small speaker some weight; the second note is slightly softer.
Envelope
3 ms onset to avoid clicks, a short hold, then a curved fall of 50-130 ms; the pair reads as one gesture of about 0.3 s.
Variation
the interval (third, fourth, fifth, octave) and direction (rising = resume, falling = pause), the note length, pitch and brightness; `rng` mistunes each render by a fraction of a percent.
