How it's made
- Source
- a small cast-metal hand bell swung so its clapper hits the rim, rebounds and taps again about 50–80 ms later. Each hit is a 0.5–3 ms band-limited noise click; the second is 40 % softer and darker.
- Body
- inharmonic bell partials relative to the strike pitch: 1 : 2.01 : 2.76 : 3.9 : 5.15 : 6.6 : 8.2 (prime, nominal, tierce-like and upper shell modes). Each ring decays faster with frequency (T60 ≈ 1.9 s for the prime down to ≈ 0.2 s at 8 kHz), so the strike is bright and the tail mellow.
- Shimmer
- every partial is a pair of modes 1–7 Hz apart (the rim is never perfectly round), which makes the tail pulse; a separate quiet air-bright layer of 9–13 kHz modes adds a short sparkle on the strike.
- Envelope
- instant attack from the clapper, exponential ring-out over about 2 s, closed by a short fade so the oneshot ends cleanly with no click.
- Variation
- `rng` mistunes partials by ±0.3 %, varies the rebound time and click colour; `strike` sets the clapper hardness and `damping` how much the hand muffles the rim.
