How it's made
- Source
- a stretched elastic membrane (or air pocket) released suddenly. The release is a 1-2 ms band-passed noise tick; the membrane then snaps outward and rings as a pitched blip.
- Body
- one dominant tone around 600-1000 Hz whose pitch rises fast (about 3 x in 34 ms), overshoots its final value by 15-40 % and settles back with a damped wobble, like a spring passing its rest point. A quieter octave partial (tri, 2 x) adds brightness, and one damped bright mode at about 3.4 x gives the "pop" sparkle.
- Envelope
- attack under 2 ms, exponential decay of 50-110 ms; everything is over by about 0.2 s.
- Variation
- `rng` detunes the base pitch by up to +-3 %; `bounce` sets the overshoot depth and wobble, `brightness` the tick and upper partials, `pitch` the register, `decay` the ring time.
| Parameter | Range | Default | Unit | Controls |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| pitch | 450 – 1400 | 1050 | Hz | Pitch |
| bounce | 0 – 1 | 0.75 | — | Bounce |
| brightness | 0 – 1 | 0.6 | — | Brightness |
| decay | 0.04 – 0.12 | 0.075 | s | Time for the tone to fade 60 dB |
| seed | int | 1 | — | Variation, reproducible |
The source is reviewed and run by SonicBricks; agents fetch it as a recipe with sb. It is not published on this page.
