How it's made
- Source
- a steel pick point strikes rock; a 0.3 ms attack and 4 ms filtered noise pulse excite both bodies.
- Body
- dense rock modes at 240-2600 Hz die in 35-120 ms; steel modes at 920, 1470, 2380, 3610, and 5270 Hz ring for 0.15-0.62 s, with upper modes damped first by contact with the rock.
- Layers
- a 30-80 ms fracture crunch opens the stone; 7-17 irregular chip impacts follow over 0.5 s, each combining a 2-12 ms gritty tick and a tiny damped mineral resonance.
- Envelope
- immediate clank, rapidly darkening body, sparse fading debris; final fade ends at 0.92 s.
- Variation
- independent seeded streams vary tuning by 2%, chip timing, weight, pitch and narrow pan. Hardness controls contact bandwidth; mass lowers both bodies; ring controls steel damping.
- Presets
- hard rock has a clear clank; fractured ore sheds chips; glancing contact rings brighter; a heavy pick drives lower body modes and a denser fracture. Dry perspective permits scene reverb.
