How it's made

Source

a plug seating in a socket (a 2 ms low-passed contact tick) followed by an electronic "power detected" cue: a fast rising blip, an electric zip and a bright confirming end note.

Body

the blip is a sine gliding 500 -> ~1300 Hz in 90 ms; the zip is a band-limited saw swept 600 -> 5000 Hz through a resonant band-pass (Q ~3) plus a thin high-passed noise fizz; the end note is a struck-tine fundamental with stretched partials (2.01x, 3.02x, 4.2x) that decay faster than the fundamental.

Envelope

tick at 0 ms; blip and zip overlap over 0-130 ms with the zip peaking as the blip ends; the end note strikes at ~120 ms (2 ms attack) and rings 0.2-0.35 s; everything is silent by ~0.5 s.

Layers

contact tick (quiet), blip (main body), zip (movement), end note (brightest, sets the pitch).

Variation

`rng` detunes the end-note partials by +-0.2 % and the glide start by +-2 %; `pitch` moves the end note and the glide target, `zip` scales the sweep layer, `brightness` the upper partials and fizz.
