EGO CHECK SYSTEM — WINDOWS SOUND PACK
=====================================

Version 1.0.0

EGO Check System is a small, open-source Python project that synthesizes a
cohesive futuristic Windows sound pack. It uses no downloaded sound samples.

HOW TO GENERATE THE SOUNDS

1. Open the EGO_Check_System folder.
2. Double-click "generate_sounds.bat".
3. A black window will briefly appear.
4. Open the "EGO Check Sounds" folder. Your nine WAV files are inside.

If Windows cannot find Python, install Python from https://python.org and tick
"Add Python to PATH" during installation. Then double-click the BAT file again.

HOW TO CHANGE THE SOUND STYLE

Right-click generate_ego_sounds.py and open it in Notepad. Near the top:

- MASTER_VOLUME changes overall loudness.
- BRIGHTNESS changes the glassy/shimmery layer.
- ECHO_AMOUNT changes how strong the holographic echo is.
- ECHO_DELAY changes how late the echo arrives.
- PITCH_SCALE changes every sound's pitch together.

Farther down, each sound has its own clearly labeled section. Numbers such as
0.48 are duration in seconds; numbers such as 660 are pitch in Hz. Save the
file, then double-click generate_sounds.bat again.

HOW TO USE ONE IN WINDOWS 11

1. Press Start and type: Change system sounds
2. Open it and select the "Sounds" tab.
3. Click an event such as Notification or Device Connect.
4. Click "Browse..." and choose the matching EGO WAV file.
5. Click "Test", then "Apply".

The generated files are mono, 16-bit PCM, 44.1 kHz WAV files for broad Windows
compatibility. No downloaded samples are used; every sound is synthesized.
