$ sb get ZWQT5WHH7E@1 --preset octave -o plucked-notify.wav

Source: a nylon or gut string plucked with a fingertip. A Karplus-Strong delay-line string models the vibrating string; a 3 ms low-passed noise burst adds the soft fingertip and nail contact.
Body: the string drives a small wooden soundbox: a broad air/top-plate resonance near 200 Hz and a second one near 1.1 kHz colour the tone, while a gentle low-pass keeps the upper partials rounded. Upper partials die faster than the fundamental, so the attack is bright and the tail is pure.
Envelope: near-instant attack (< 2 ms), natural exponential decay of 0.3-1.2 s per note; two notes are plucked 0.1-0.4 s apart and overlap, the second slightly softer.
Variation: `rng` detunes each note by +-0.2 % and varies pluck strength; macros set pitch, interval, ring, brightness and note spacing; presets move between a bright nylon tick and a warm, slow gut pluck.
