How it's made
- Source
- a capacitor-style energy weapon spooling up. A stack of detuned saw and sine oscillators forms the whine; a band-passed noise bed is the plasma hiss; a sine sub gives the felt power-up swell.
- Body
- the whine sweeps exponentially from ~180 Hz to a peak pitch of 1.4-4.5 kHz behind a low-pass whose cutoff opens in step, so the spectrum brightens as the pitch rises; an octave-up partial fades in near the top.
- Envelope
- level and pitch accelerate together over the charge time, holding full level for ~30 ms, then a 0.18 s release; a short high-passed shimmer burst at the peak is the bright "ready" crack.
- Events
- charge pulses are 45 ms sine/noise thumps whose gaps shrink (t = T * (k/N)^0.55), so the beat accelerates into a near-continuous flutter; each pulse is tuned to the sweep pitch at its time and grows louder.
- Variation
- `rng` detunes the oscillator stack by up to 1.5 %, jitters pulse timing and strength; presets differ in charge time, peak pitch, pulse count and grit.
| Parameter | Range | Default | Unit | Controls |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| charge | 0.6 – 3.2 | 1.7 | s | Charge time |
| pitch | 1400 – 4500 | 2600 | Hz | Peak pitch |
| pulses | 4 – 28 | 14 | — | Pulses |
| brightness | 0 – 1 | 0.6 | — | Brightness |
| grit | 0 – 1 | 0.3 | — | Plasma grit |
| sub | 0 – 1 | 0.5 | — | Sub swell |
| seed | int | 1 | — | Variation, reproducible |
