Vellum Variations SFX

Vellum Variations SFX is a 12-sound set built from sine and triangle tones with no distortion at any stage. It is meant to sound like a modern phone or console interface, and every clip was synthesised from scratch for this pack — no sampled material, no library content, no model output — which is what makes it safe to hand over under a licence you can actually ship with.

Nothing in this set is loud, nothing is bright and nothing rings: the longest clip is under half a second and the room is short enough to feel like an interface rather than a space. Built to be heard hundreds of times an hour without wearing out.

This is the most requested thing in game audio and the thing free packs almost never ship. A footstep played identically reads as cheap within about four steps, and the fix is not a runtime pitch randomiser, it is genuinely different takes. Each take here differs in transient timing, filter position and noise seed, and the spread is measured: far enough apart to hear, close enough to still be the same object.

The set covers 12 files totalling 2.5 seconds, from 196 ms (select-02) to 0.22 s (ui-click-06). Levels are matched across it: each clip peaks at -1 dBFS with silence trimmed from both ends and a 5 ms fade, so you can drop the folder into one mixer group and set a single volume instead of balancing them one at a time.

Files are 44.1 kHz mono, 16-bit WAV masters with OGG Vorbis alongside, in wav/ and ogg/ folders. The OGG folder is 74 kB against 213 kB of WAV, so ship the OGG unless you need sample-accurate source. The WAV is the master either way — reach for it if you are going to pitch-shift or process further, because re-encoding a lossy file after processing is where artefacts come from.

Good fit for mobile games, menu-heavy strategy titles, editors and tools.
