How it's made
- Source
- water drops flatten on corrugated sheet metal: 0.5-1.2 ms attacks, 5-14 ms noise splats. A Poisson stream of 35-175 drops/s supplies steady patter without hard ice bounces.
- Body
- differently sized roof patches have inharmonic modes near 470-4000 Hz, with 35-180 ms T60. Wet sheets and fasteners damp the upper modes first; randomized strike position changes modal weights.
- Layers
- distant impacts merge into a stereo pink bed at 320-6500 Hz; roof flexure and distant rain form a broad 45-340 Hz rumble, without a sustained pitched bass note or added room reverb.
- Envelope
- continuous 12 s loop, joined by engine crossfade. Slow 0.13 Hz drift varies density and level by only 10 percent; each ring tapers to zero before its voice ends, avoiding stolen-tail clicks.
- Variation
- seeded drop size, strength, pitch, damping and pan; brightness sets absorption, ring sets sheet damping, warmth sets structural rumble. Sleep, drizzle, downpour and insulated presets vary all three.
