How it's made
- Source
- a tiny glass-like glint, the sound of a hint "catching the light" as it fades in. No contact transient: the onset is a soft swell, never a tick.
- Body
- a high sine (about 4–7 kHz) that glides up a few percent while it blooms, a quieter inharmonic partial (ratio ≈ 1.5) that shimmers with a slight detune beat, and a very faint band of air (6–10 kHz) that gives the glint a sparkle instead of a pure tone.
- Envelope
- attack 8–14 ms with a smooth curve, then an exponential fade of 60–90 ms; the partial peaks a little later and fades faster than the fundamental so the spectrum darkens as it dies. Total about 0.12 s.
- Variation
- every render detunes the glint by up to ±2 % through `rng`, so repeated hints are not identical.
| Parameter | Range | Default | Unit | Controls |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| pitch | 3500 – 7500 | 5200 | Hz | Pitch |
| shimmer | 0 – 1 | 0.5 | — | Level of the upper partial and air sparkle |
| softness | 0 – 1 | 0.5 | — | Slower attack and gentler onset |
| fade | 0.025 – 0.07 | 0.035 | s | Time for the glint to fade 60 dB |
| seed | int | 1 | — | Variation, reproducible |
The source is reviewed and run by SonicBricks; agents fetch it as a recipe with sb. It is not published on this page.
