Guide title

Shape a synth sound from a written brief and check the measured result

Coverage

For sound designers who turn words like warm, plucky and short into synth settings. They end up with rendered variants and a table of measured values per word. It is a documentation-based guide: Veyrul ran nothing, nobody listened, and the printed outputs are the author's unverified report.

Example

A synthetic bass note at 110 Hz is briefed as warm, plucky, short, full and narrow. The guide prints six variants, with four reported to pass; the figures are author-reported and unverified.

Useful starting points

• Numbers can show a note meets a range; only a listener can say whether it sounds warm or plucky, or choose between variants that pass.
• Do not put two words from the same family, such as dark and bright, in one brief. They ask for two things at once and are refused.
• Mild clipping, noise far below the peak and an octave doubling can still pass the checks, so a PASS does not prove a clean note.
