m3te sound effects
==================

Every shipped cue is a REAL, FREE-licensed sound effect (all CC0 1.0 / public
domain), chosen and processed to EVOKE a sweet, juicy, tactile candy-game feel.

  >>> NONE of these are ripped from Candy Crush or any King-owned audio. They are
  >>> independent CC0 assets that merely evoke a similar candy/jelly character.

All files are delivered in exactly the format iOS System Sound Services loads
directly via audio.sx: WAVE / mono / 44100 Hz / signed-16-bit PCM. The whole
bank is peak-limited to a quiet -9 dBFS (System Sound Services has no runtime
volume, so loudness is baked into the file); the lose "aww" sits a touch lower
at -12 dBFS.

Per-file provenance & candy character
-------------------------------------

swap.wav    — soft, light blip/bubble.
              Freesound "Pop 01" (#506546) by LilMati — CC0.
              https://freesound.org/people/LilMati/sounds/506546/
              Trimmed to the single pop (~89 ms), faded, peak-normalized.

match.wav   — bright, juicy candy POP (the "tasty" match reward).
              Freesound "Cartoon Pop" (#741368) by Mish7913 — CC0.
              https://freesound.org/people/Mish7913/sounds/741368/
              Trimmed to the single pop (~260 ms), faded, peak-normalized.

combo1..5.wav — warm, sweet MARIMBA mallet notes ascending a C-major pentatonic
              (C5 D5 E5 G5 A5) — the candy-cascade sparkle, warm not glassy.
              Source: VCSL "Marimba" single note F5 (med velocity) — CC0.
              github.com/sgossner/VCSL .../Idiophones/Struck Idiophones/Marimba
              The one marimba note is real-resample pitch-laddered (ffmpeg
              asetrate/aresample) to C5/D5/E5/G5/A5, trimmed (~280 ms), faded,
              peak-normalized. Measured dominant partials (tools/measure_pitch.py),
              strictly ascending:
                combo1 1045 Hz < combo2 1173 < combo3 1317 < combo4 1566 < combo5 1758
              (these are the marimba's strong ~2x partial; perceived pitch is
              one octave lower: C5 523 .. A5 880.)

win.wav     — short, sugary, triumphant GLOCKENSPIEL bell fanfare.
              Source: VCSL "Glockenspiel" notes C5 + G5 + C6 (med velocity) — CC0.
              github.com/sgossner/VCSL .../Idiophones/Struck Idiophones/Glockenspiel
              The three real bell notes are trimmed and sequenced into an
              ascending C5->G5->C6 arpeggio (ffmpeg adelay/amix), ~580 ms,
              faded, peak-normalized.

lose.wav    — soft, gentle, descending "aww" (not a buzzer).
              Source: VCSL "Marimba" notes B4 + G4 (med velocity) — CC0.
              github.com/sgossner/VCSL .../Idiophones/Struck Idiophones/Marimba
              The two real marimba notes are sequenced into a gentle descending
              B4->G4 gesture (ffmpeg adelay/amix), ~490 ms, faded, normalized to
              a softer -12 dBFS.

clear.wav   — "confirmation_001" from Kenney "Interface Sounds" (CC0).
              https://kenney.nl/assets/interface-sounds
              NOT loaded by the shipped game; kept as a CC0 reference clip.

Processing
----------

Sources downloaded as their original CC0 files (VCSL .wav notes from GitHub;
Freesound CC0 high-quality previews). Each cue was decoded, down-mixed to mono,
trimmed to its transient, optionally pitch-shifted / sequenced with real ffmpeg
DSP (asetrate/aresample, adelay/amix, afade), peak-normalized, and re-wrapped to
the canonical WAVE/LEI16/44100/mono container with afconvert. The shipped game
never runs any build tool; it only loads the finished WAVs.
