How it's made
- Source
- a retro console voice chip. A narrow pulse wave (25 % duty) plus a square an octave below, the classic 8-bit pair, played as a staircase of notes that fall a fixed interval each step.
- Body
- each note passes a low-pass that tracks its pitch (5x falling to 2x the fundamental), so the buzzy attack mellows; a quiet triangle sub adds weight. A band-passed noise breath falls from 2.4 kHz to 300 Hz under the staircase, like air rushing down a pipe.
- Envelope
- every step has a 4 ms attack, a held body and a 15 ms release, overlapping the next step slightly so there are no clicks; a low sine rumble sinks under the last steps and ends the sound.
- Modulation
- pitch vibrato of about 6.5 Hz that deepens through each step (the wobble); the descent is quantised, not a glide.
- Variation
- `rng` detunes each step by under 0.3 % and sets the vibrato phase and rate; presets change step count, interval, start pitch, wobble depth and duty so they read as pipe, deep hole, quick hop and woozy drop.
