How it's made

Source
fast water separates around rocks; independent pink and white turbulence beds form a roar.
Body
45-380 Hz pressure supports a broad 180 Hz-7 kHz wash; low-Q filters avoid pitched rock modes.
Envelope
continuous flow breathes at 0.17-0.65 Hz with independent 1.8 Hz eddies; no periodic waves.
Events
3-10 overlapping splash sheets/s attack in 12-45 ms and disperse over 90-360 ms, with moving 700-3800 Hz centres; 20-65 entrained bubbles/s of radius 1.2-7 mm add short submerged gurgles.
Modulation
stronger eddies lift both wash cutoff and foam level; individual splashes pan across rocks.
Variation
named seeded streams vary eddies, splash size, pan and bubble radii. Mass controls pressure, foam controls aeration, surges controls eddy depth, and proximity removes fine spray at a distant bank.
Space
direct stereo turbulence without baked reflections; presets cover boulder chute, foamy ledge, deep channel and a wider riverbank view. Designed to evolve throughout a 30 s or longer render.
