How it's made
- Source
- one knuckle strike on a closed steel door; a rounded 0.4 ms attack and 3-7 ms low-passed noise contact excites the sheet without an exposed broadband click.
- Body
- inharmonic sheet modes at 238, 367, 541, 793, 1129, 1577, 2213 and 3089 Hz; T60 falls from 0.38 s in the low panel to 0.09 s at the top, making a hollow short clang.
- Cavity
- a broad 145-225 Hz enclosed-door resonance and a damped 390 Hz brace add depth; close pairs of middle modes separated by 5-9 Hz give a slight metallic flutter.
- Envelope
- contact ends within 8 ms; high modes disappear first. The natural ring fades below audibility before a final 40 ms safety fade; the default render lasts about 0.6 s.
- Variation
- seeded mode tuning varies by 0.7 percent and strike colour by 4 percent. Size scales sheet and cavity frequencies; hardness shapes contact and upper-mode strength.
- Presets
- everyday steel, bright thin sheet, low heavy hatch and softly damped door knocks; ring and hollowness change physical damping and cavity balance. Dry mono, with no room tail.
