Source: a bowed-bass style swell. A sine sub at the root (55 Hz) carries the weight; two detuned saws an octave up (±6 cents) and a triangle at the fifth add harmonics that a filter can reveal. A little pink noise is the bow/air texture.
Body: a 12 dB low-pass opens from 90 Hz to 1.1–3.5 kHz (Q ≈ 1.1), so harmonics enter one by one as the scene lifts. A tanh saturator after the sum adds warm harmonics that grow with level.
Envelope: a pure crescendo: level rises along a power curve to its peak at ~75 % of the length, then a short release lets the swell resolve; pitch drifts up ≈ 1.5 % to add lift.
Variation: `rng` shifts the saw detune and the peak time by a few percent; presets change root, sweep range, drive and noise.
