How it's made
- Source
- a small steel plate jumping onto a magnet. Contact is a sub-2 ms high-passed noise burst preceded by a faint 1 ms "pull" tick as the plate closes the last millimetre.
- Body
- the plate rings in three short, inharmonic steel modes (≈ 1 : 1.9 : 3.1 around 2.4–4.8 kHz, 12–45 ms); the magnet block adds a dull low "tuk" (190–340 Hz, 15–25 ms) that sells the solid lock.
- Envelope
- attack under 0.5 ms, modes fall 60 dB in well under 50 ms, total about 0.08 s; nothing sustains.
- Spectral movement
- the contact noise is low-passed softer for a heavy snap; a slight downward glide of the tuk (about 12 %) imitates the plate settling.
- Variation
- `rng` mistunes the modes by ±2 % so repeated snaps differ; presets move size, decay and tuk weight.

| pitch | 2400 – 4800 | 3200 | Hz | Plate pitch |
| ring | 0.012 – 0.045 | 0.025 | s | Time for the plate modes to fade 60 dB |
| thud | 0 – 1 | 0.4 | — | Magnet thud |
| brightness | 0 – 1 | 0.5 | — | Brightness |
| seed | int | 1 | — | Variation, reproducible |
