How it's made

Source

a small electronic tone generator playing two soft sine notes, the second lower and quieter, like a wireless accessory dropping its link. No physical strike: the onset is a 6 ms ramp, so no click.

Body

each note is a pure fundamental with a weak 2nd partial (about -20 dB) and a faint 3rd partial that fades within 80 ms, giving a rounded attack while the tail stays a clean sine.

Envelope

6 ms attack, then an exponential decay of 0.1-0.5 s; the second note starts 0.08-0.32 s later, a third to a fifth lower, at 55-70 % of the first note's level, so the pair reads as "falling away".

Spectral movement

upper partials decay 2-3x faster than the fundamental, and a gentle low-pass sits lower on the second note (brighter first note, darker second note).

Variation

`rng` detunes each note by a fraction of a percent; macros set pitch, interval, spacing, softness of the second note and ring time; presets move between a quick drop, a sigh and a bright alert.

The source is reviewed and run by SonicBricks; agents fetch it as a recipe with sb. It is not published on this page.
