How it's made

Source

a branded-intro hit built from three layers: a soft low "thump" (a falling sine with a trace of saturation), a short filtered noise crack that gives the punch, and a struck-glass chord whose partials ring on as a shimmering tail.

Body

the chord is built from a root, fifth and octave plus a colour note; every note carries slightly stretched partials (1x, 2.01x, 3.02x, 4.17x) with the upper partials decaying faster, so the attack is bright and the tail turns pure. Each note is doubled as a left and a right voice detuned by a few cents, which beats slowly and widens the image; a slow opposite-phase tremolo on the two sides makes the tail shimmer.

Envelope

1 ms strike; thump 0.28 s, crack 60 ms; the chord decays exponentially over the Ring time and is closed by a smooth fade so the end is silent.

Variation

root pitch, chord colour, ring length, punch, shimmer speed and stereo width; `rng` detunes the partials by a fraction of a percent.
