Access Granted Terminal

How it's made

Source

a synthetic terminal voicing an "access granted" confirmation as a quick rising arpeggio of clean digital chime notes; each note is a gated sine core with a faint FM-bell shimmer, not a real struck object.

Body

fundamental plus an octave (2×), a 3× sine and an inharmonic 2.76× "glass pixel" partial; upper partials decay 2–6× faster than the fundamental, so the attack is glittery and the tail pure.

Envelope

3 ms attack ramp (no click), exponential decay of ≈ 0.22 s per note, the last note rings 1.6× longer and ends the sound in a short tail; a 1 ms noise tick above 4 kHz marks each note onset.

Spectral movement

the pitch climbs a scale (pentatonic, stacked fifths or minor thirds) so the energy centroid rises over ≈ 0.2 s; brightness controls how much shimmer and tick each note carries.

Variation

`rng` detunes partials by ±0.2 % and each preset changes scale, speed, ring and note count (crisp HUD ping, soft console, double confirm, vault unlock).
