Source

Strike plan

Pulse spacing at zero produces a single strike. The seed keeps every stochastic choice repeatable.

Distance 750 m Primary strength 0.70 Pulse spacing 85 ms Secondary strength 0.70 Variation seed Monitor level 70%

Monitor level is downstream listening volume only. It does not alter the synth preset or pre-monitor signal meters.

Acoustics

The high-value controls for weight, growl, distance, and safe output. Changes apply to the working preset immediately.

Audition branches

Attack Body Roll

Level & safety Pre-comp drive +5.0 dB Output trim −8.5 dB High-pass 40 Hz Distance falloff −0.65

High-pass settings below 40 Hz are experimental and can spend substantial headroom on inaudible sub-bass. Watch peak hold.

Low body Body level 0.70 Near centre 230 Hz Far centre 150 Hz Resonance Q 0.73 End frequency 45% Sustain 0.44

Growl & roll Roll level 0.34 Near centre 285 Hz Far centre 125 Hz Resonance Q 1.33

Tail shape Base tail 2.9 s Distance tail 4.3 s

Base tail sets the floor; distance tail adds duration as the source moves farther away.

Deterministic comparison

A is a stored snapshot. B is the current working preset. Both replay the same cue and seed for a fair comparison.

Advanced preset JSON Validated before it reaches the synth

Edit exact model values, then apply. Reset restores the shipped preset; copy writes the complete working preset to the clipboard.
