How it's made
- Source
- a drawn bowstring let go. The release is a 2–4 ms nock/fingers click (band-passed noise); the string then snaps back from its drawn tension and rings as a plucked string with a few harmonics.
- Body
- string fundamental 180–420 Hz with harmonics 2–5 (slightly stretched), decaying faster the higher they are (T60 ≈ 0.32 s fundamental, 0.07 s fifth); a limb thump near 110 Hz adds weight.
- Pitch
- the first 70 ms carry a quick downward bend (2–12 % above the rest pitch) as the string tension relaxes after the large initial displacement; the bend applies to every partial.
- Whiz
- the arrow leaves; band-passed pink noise (Q ≈ 3) sweeps 3.6 kHz → 1.3 kHz while fading, an airy tail that outlasts the string over 0.3–0.5 s.
- Variation
- `rng` shifts string pitch ±2 %, bend amount and partial phase; presets change string tension, limb mass and arrow whiz level.
