ENGINE DOCUMENTATION
| Parameter Name | Acoustic & Physical Role | Domain / Subsystem | Working Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Comb Delay Duration | Simulates the physical length and spatial dimensions of the enclosing container or room. Short delays create flanging and metallic ringing; medium delays form ceramic and wooden resonant bodies; long delays (50–350 ms) simulate massive stone cisterns, subterranean tunnels, and acoustic fluid echoes. | Waveguide / Dimension | 10 to 15,435 smp (0.2 ms to 350.0 ms) |
| Comb Wall Reflectance | Sets the recursive feedback gain inside the circular waveguide. Dictates the hard-surface reflection density of the container walls (e.g., highly reflective polished marble vs. absorptive soil). Protected by an internal leaky DC blocker to prevent rail saturation. | Waveguide / Feedback | 0.00 to 0.94 |
| Acoustic Air Absorption | One-pole low-pass damping filter within the feedback loop. Replicates the real-world acoustic law where high frequencies lose energy faster than low frequencies over distance. Higher values darken and warm the tail of long delay times. | Waveguide / Absorption | 0.10 to 0.95 |
| Stereo Cross-Spread | Applies an irrational delay offset ($\phi \approx 1.618$) to the right audio channel relative to the left channel. Eliminates center mono phasing and spreads the comb reflections across a wide, panoramic 3D binaural field. | Waveguide / Spatialization | 0% to 100% |
| Fluid Surface Jitter | A low-frequency chaotic LFO that subtly shifts the comb read pointer. Simulates convection currents and rippling water surfaces that prevent stationary wave locks and add organic fluidity to sustained resonances. | Waveguide / Modulation | 0.00 to 1.00 |
| F1 – F6 Formants | Six discrete zero-delay TPTS State-Variable bandpass filters that define the structural material and vowel-like timbre of the vessel (from deep cavern rumble up to micro-droplet aerosol sheen). | Resonator / Spectrum | 20 Hz to 16,000 Hz |
| Resonance Wet Mix | Balances the dry fluid exciter against the wet resonant chamber (the parallel 6-formant array and comb spatial waveguide). | Resonator / Blend | 0% to 100% |
| Formant Q Factor | Controls the resonance sharpness and selectivity of the 6 formant bandpass filters. Higher values produce singing, ringing tones; lower values yield broad, warm equalization. | Resonator / Bandwidth | 1.0 to 25.0 |
| Exciter Brightness | A non-resonant low-pass filter directly downstream of the 12-mode exciter. Shapes the initial spectral brightness before the signal strikes the acoustic chamber. | Exciter / Timbre | 500 Hz to 16,000 Hz |
| Fluid Velocity (Rate) | Scales the internal Poisson trigger frequency, sine frequencies, or chaotic drift rates within the selected micro-hydrodynamic exciter engine. | Exciter / Dynamics | 0.10x to 3.00x |
| Exciter Raw Gain | Dedicated pre-chamber volume control for the fluid excitation signal. Allows balancing quiet micro-trickles against high-amplitude Bessel chimes without affecting the master output. | Mixer / Input Stage | 0% to 150% |
| Master Final Gain | Master output level feeding the final algebraic soft-saturator stage. Prevents digital clipping while maintaining headroom. | Mixer / Output Stage | 0% to 100% |
