How it's made
- Source
- linked steel rings colliding in a short hand shake; 0.4–2 ms filtered noise excites each link.
- Body
- six inharmonic bending modes at ratios 1, 1.63, 2.29, 3.47, 4.91 and 6.31, based near 1.1 kHz. Contact with adjacent links damps the modes in 35–240 ms; upper modes decay fastest, without a bell tail.
- Layers
- short band-limited contact ticks, resonant clinks and quiet 8–20 ms sliding friction per contact.
- Envelope
- 16–46 uneven contacts across 0.86 s, in two overlapping shake gestures followed by settling. Later collisions lose energy and brightness; residual ringing fades smoothly by 1.15 s.
- Variation
- seeded timing, strength, link tuning and narrow pan vary each collision. Size lowers modes; damping models a hand gripping the chain. Presets cover fine, heavy, loose and hand-muted chains.
- Space
- dry close Foley, with no baked-in room reverberation.
