How it's made
- Source
- a feather-light contact on a small glass indicator, such as a lens or a glass key edge. The contact is a sub-millisecond noise tick, high-passed above 4 kHz, so it reads as a sparkle and not a thud.
- Body
- a thin glass pane rings in stiff, inharmonic modes (fundamental 5–10 kHz, a second mode at about 2.4 times the first, quieter and shorter-lived, and a very quiet extra partial for shimmer). There is no low-frequency housing, so nothing sits under 2 kHz.
- Squeak
- the pane flexes under the touch, so a faint sine lifts from 0.8 to 1.2 times the pitch in 14 ms.
- Envelope
- attack under 0.3 ms, the fundamental fades 60 dB in about 30 ms, the upper modes faster; the whole cue is gone by about 0.07 s. Level stays low because a focus cue repeats on every key press.
- Variation
- `rng` mistunes the modes by about ±2 % and jitters the contact strength, so rapid tabbing through a form does not sound mechanical.
| Parameter | Range | Default | Unit | Controls |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| pitch | 5000 – 10000 | 7400 | Hz | Pitch |
| glass | 0 – 1 | 0.7 | — | Level of the upper glass partials |
| decay | 0.012 – 0.045 | 0.034 | s | Time for the main mode to fade 60 dB |
| softness | 0 – 1 | 0.4 | — | Rolls off the contact tick |
| seed | int | 1 | — | Variation, reproducible |
