Source: a handheld stun weapon discharging. A saw core (240-520 Hz) with a detuned square an octave down is the energised plasma; a 3 ms filtered-noise tick marks the trigger and a sparse crackle bed is the arc.
Body: the core is ring-modulated by a sine carrier (about 0.5-0.65 x the pitch). The product has sidebands at f0 +/- fc, which gives the metallic, inharmonic electric timbre; a 12-60 Hz sine LFO wobbles both pitch (up to 6 %) and the ring depth, so the zap pulses. A low-pass (up to 4.5 kHz falling to 600 Hz) keeps the sidebands from getting harsh.
Envelope: level jumps in within 4 ms, holds about 45 % of the length while the pitch slides down by up to a fourth, then releases as the filter closes (soft tail). The crackle fades faster than the tone.
Variation: `rng` shifts core pitch, carrier ratio and LFO phase by a few percent and places the crackle; parameters set wobble rate and depth, ring amount, slide and brightness; presets give stun baton, riot blaster, tiny taser and heavy overload.
