Spell Cast

How it's made

Source

three layers of a gathered, released spell. (1) An air wake: pink noise, high-passed at 150 Hz and band-passed (Q ≈ 1.1) with a centre sweeping up from 300 Hz to several kHz. (2) A tonal core: a sine plus a soft triangle an octave up that glides a perfect fifth upward while a slow low-pass opens. (3) A shimmer of six detuned high sines on a pentatonic stack that tremble at 6-11 Hz, plus a trail of tiny sine sparkles whose rate climbs with the build-up.

Body

at the release point (about 68 % of the length) a short chord of decaying sines (root, fifth, octave, major tenth) blooms with a soft band-passed noise puff, then the shimmer tails away on its own.

Envelope

everything swells on a convex curve (energy rises), the wake peaks just before the release, the chord blooms in 25 ms and decays over about 0.4 s; the whole sound is closed by a smooth fade-out.

Variation

`rng` shifts the tuning by a few cents, every sparkle's pitch, timing and pan, and the shimmer tremble phases; macros set length, pitch, brightness, sparkle density and the weight of the low core.

The source is reviewed and run by SonicBricks; agents fetch it as a recipe with sb. It is not published on this page.
