Sound files

Example of a file that defines a single sound:

sounds = {
  {
    frequency = 500,
    sustain = 0.3,
    waveform = "triangle",
  }
}

The following fields can be used to describe a sound:

• attack (in seconds)
• decay (in seconds)
• sustain (in seconds)
• sustainPunch (in seconds)
• amplification
• harmonics
• harmonicsFalloff
• tremoloDepth
• tremoloFrequency (in hertz)
• frequency (in hertz)
• frequencyDeltaSweep
• frequencyJump1Onset
• frequencyJump2Onset
• frequencyJump1Amount
• frequencyJump2Amount
• frequencySweep
• vibratoFrequency (in hertz)
• vibratoDepth (in hertz)
• flangerOffset
• flangerOffsetSweep
• repeatFrequency
• waveform ("sine", "triangle", "sawtooth", "square", "tangent", "whistle", "breaker", "whitenoise", "pinknoise", "brownnoise")

Creating a sound with JFXR

While it's possible to hand-craft sounds by hand-editing sound files, in practice most people use the GUI jfxr for sound creation.

After obtaining a sound you are satisfied with, you can "export" the sound by using the link to your sound generated by jfxr.

A script then transforms the resulting jfxr link (for example this link) into a table consumable by PewPew Live.

See this example.
