design notes
387 · Drop Engine
Lab's first EDM/club journey engine. Arc: GROOVE→BUILD→DROP→RELEASE→loop, 16 bars each at 126 BPM.
Tension scalar [0→1] simultaneously drives: noise riser pitch, LP filter sweep, snare-roll acceleration, HP suck-out pre-drop, and all visuals.
Synthesis: kick (sine+click), snare (filtered noise), hat, bass (saw+sub through LP), supersaw lead, riser. All sum through a DynamicsCompressor limiter.
Per-loop variation: riser type, lead transposition, fill pattern — so no two loops are identical.
