Getting Started

  1. Start simple — begin with default settings and explore one card at a time
  2. Use material presets — the Material dropdown is the fastest way to dramatically change character
  3. Rate + Size = Foundation — these two knobs define 80% of your sound
  4. Add motion last — get your base sound right before adding Chaos, Drift, or Surge

​
Common Gotchas

Topology CPU Usage — High Topology values can be CPU-intensive, especially with high Rate. If you experience audio dropouts, reduce Topology or Rate, or enable CPU Cut.
Surge Needs Headroom — Surge modulates parameters including Rate. Set Rate to 30-50% to give Surge room to create dynamic swells.
Cascade Chain Reactions — High Cascade values with high Rate can create exponential bubble growth. If things get out of control, reduce one or both.
Natural Balance Affects Mix — At 100% (the default), large/low bubbles dominate the mix because that’s physically accurate. If you want more high-frequency content to cut through, reduce Natural Balance toward 0% (equal-loudness mode).

Sound Design Tips

​
Sparse, Delicate Pops

  • Rate: low (5-15%)
  • Size: medium
  • Ring: short (20-50ms)
  • Flow Type: Poisson
  • Material: Water

​
Dense Foam Cascade

  • Rate: high (70-100%)
  • Cascade: medium-high
  • Material: Soap Solution
  • Surge: Gush or Roil
  • Add Drift for evolving texture

​
Musical / Tonal

  • Flow Type: Melodic or Harmonic
  • Set Quantize to 80-100%
  • Choose a scale and root note
  • Use Scatter for natural variation between voices

​
Tunable Cinematic Body

  • Flow Type: Melodic
  • Resonance: Cave, Cistern, or Bathtub
  • Resonance amount: 60-100%
  • The resonator pitch-tracks your MIDI input

​
Deep Sub Bass

  • Size: large
  • Rate: low-medium
  • Compress low bands (63-250Hz) in Voicing Dynamics
  • Natural Balance: reduce to let low frequencies through evenly

​
Inharmonic Cloud

  • Flow Type: Poisson or Turbulent
  • Snap (ADP): 60-100%
  • Resonance: Seashell or Skull at 30-50%
  • Chaos: LFO mode for slow continuous wobble
