How it's made
- Source
- an urgent countdown clock. Each beat is a small escapement-like click (1–2 ms noise burst) that excites a short metallic ring (3–7 kHz, 20–40 ms); every fourth beat is an accented, lower "tock".
- Body
- a heartbeat-like sub thump under each beat, a sine falling from ≈ 95 Hz to ≈ 52 Hz in 80 ms with a 150 ms decay; a quiet tritone pad (≈ 196 Hz and ≈ 277 Hz, soft saw, low-passed) supplies the tension.
- Envelope
- ticks and thumps are strictly periodic at 3–6 beats per second, so the 4 s loop holds a whole number of beats; the pad swells and relaxes once per loop (0.25 Hz) while its filter opens and closes.
- Spectral movement
- the pad cutoff and the tick brightness follow the same 4 s cycle, so the loop breathes without a seam.
- Variation
- `rng` varies every tick's level and tuning by a few percent; presets change the beat rate, the thump weight, the pad tension and the metallic size.
| Parameter | Range | Default | Unit | Controls |

| tension | 0 – 1 | 0.5 | — | Tension pad |
| size | 0 – 1 | 0.4 | — | Tick size |
| accent | 0 – 1 | 0.5 | — | Accent strength |
| seed | int | 1 | — | Variation, reproducible |
