How it's made

Source

a soft synthetic "heal" cue built from three layers: a warm sine-like glide, a bloom of chord tones (major triad plus octave, struck almost together) and a faint high shimmer of tremolo-modulated partials.

Body

the glide is a sine plus a quiet 2nd harmonic (low-passed triangle) sweeping up from about 0.8x to 1x of the pitch in 0.28 s. The chord uses 1 : 1.26 : 1.5 : 2 sines with a quiet 2nd harmonic, so it reads as warm and consonant. The shimmer sits at 4x and 6x the pitch, detuned by a few cents.

Envelope

glide swells in 30 ms and fades by 0.5 s; the chord blooms in after 0.14 s with a 70 ms soft attack (staggered 20 ms per note) and decays over about 0.5 s; the shimmer follows 0.2 s later with a 5.5 Hz tremolo and dies by 0.7 s. No hard onsets, so there are no clicks.

Variation

`rng` detunes each partial by +-0.2 %; pitch sets the key, bloom the chord level, shimmer the sparkle level, warmth the upper-harmonic content, rise the glide interval.

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