How it's made
- Source
- a stopwatch / countdown tick as a UI cue. Each beat is a 1 ms low-passed noise contact (the transient) plus a damped body: a short pitched knock that decays within 60 ms.
- Body
- "tick" rings a woody mode near 1.8 kHz, "tock" a softer, lower one near 1.2 kHz (about a fifth lower); a faint 300 Hz thock under the tock gives weight. Decays are 20-60 ms, so beats stay dry.
- Envelope
- contact is instant (0.2 ms attack), the body falls away in 30-60 ms; no sustain, no reverb.
- Rhythm
- strictly periodic, 1-4 beats per second, alternating tick and tock; the 4 s loop holds a whole even number of beats, so the tick-tock pattern repeats without a seam.
- Variation
- `rng` varies each beat's level (+-6 %) and tuning (+-1 %); macros set pitch, softness and contrast.
| Parameter | Range | Default | Unit | Controls |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| beats | 1 – 4 | 1 | — | Beats per second |
| pitch | 0 – 1 | 0.5 | — | Pitch |
| contrast | 0 – 1 | 0.6 | — | Tick–tock contrast |
| softness | 0 – 1 | 0.4 | — | Softness |
| seed | int | 1 | — | Variation, reproducible |
The source is reviewed and run by SonicBricks; agents fetch it as a recipe with sb. It is not published on this page.
