Source: a soft yarn mallet striking two successive rosewood marimba bars. The contact is a 3–8 ms low-passed noise thump; a softer mallet is longer and darker, a harder one adds click and upper partials.
Body: a tuned bar rings at its fundamental plus the characteristic tuned overtones (≈ 3.9× and ≈ 9.2×). The upper partials fall away much faster than the fundamental (0.12×, 0.05× of the ring time), so the bright strike settles into a round, almost pure tone. A resonator tube below the bar re-emphasises the fundamental and gives the woody "oo" bloom.
Envelope: 1.5 ms soft attack, exponential decay of 0.2–0.9 s per note; the second note starts 0.12–0.35 s later while the first is still ringing, then everything fades out by about 0.9 s.
Variation: `rng` detunes each partial by a fraction of a percent and varies note strength, so repeated renders are not machine-identical.
