Warp Jump

How it's made

Source

a drive field spooling up. A stack of three slightly detuned saws is stretched upward in pitch (70 Hz to the top pitch, accelerating climb) while a sine whistle one octave above chases it; turbulence is pink noise.

Body

the saws pass a low-pass that opens with the pitch (400 Hz to 6 kHz) so the tone brightens as it stretches; the noise runs through a band-pass (Q 0.9) sweeping 150 Hz to 5 kHz plus a soft saturator, which becomes the roar of the hull entering the jump.

Envelope

a slow crescendo over about 78 % of the length, then a sudden cut at the release point: a falling sub sine (110 to 32 Hz), a short broadband crack and a dark noise bloom that fades in about 0.75 s, the shock wave as the ship leaves.

Variation

`rng` detunes the saws by a few cents and shifts the release time by a few percent; the macros set length, top pitch, roar, release weight and whistle; presets move between a nimble, a heavy and a glassy jump.
