Moonlight Lullaby

Moonlight Lullaby is a bright, mono melodic figure in the F4 to C6 register, with the bass filtered away entirely below about 80 Hz. Where the Lullaby pad is a wide, dark chord, this one is a narrow, high line that actually moves. Suits listeners who want a tune rather than a drone.

What the loop actually contains

The two channels are identical to within measurement error, so this file is mono in everything but format, and it will not widen on headphones. The pitch content runs 349, 392, 440, 698, 880, 933 and 1046 Hz, which is F4 up to C6, in the register a music box or a celesta occupies. Below 250 Hz there is almost nothing: the 20 to 80 Hz band measures 44 decibels down. Phrases turn over roughly every three quarters of a second across a 32-second loop.

Compared with the Lullaby pad

Every measurement separates them. Lullaby is wide stereo, bass-heavy, dark, and a static chord. This is mono, bass-free, bright, and melodic. Picking between them is a real choice rather than a coin flip, because they are not variants of one recording.

If you want the brightness without a tune, Enchanted covers similar ground as a sustained cluster; Singing Bowl is a single held pitch. The sound library index has the rest. A melodic line often wants something underneath it, and the Moonlight Lullaby and brown noise blend in the free sound mixer supplies the missing bottom end.

Frequently asked questions

Is Moonlight Lullaby in stereo?

Technically yes, but both channels carry the same signal, so it is mono in practice and will not spread across headphones.

What instrument is it?

The register and tone are those of a music box or celesta. The file is a recording of a melodic figure rather than a synthesised pad.

How does it compare with Lullaby?

Opposites, in every measurement. Lullaby gives a wide, bass-heavy, static chord; this gives a mono, treble-only melodic line about two octaves higher.

Does it loop cleanly?

Yes. The 32-second file repeats continuously until you stop it or the sleep timer does.
