Treasure Glow Reveal

How it's made

Source

three layers of a treasure reveal. A harp-like run of plucked strings sweeps upward, a warm major-add9 chord swells underneath, and a burst of tiny glassy bell tinkles sparkles on top.

Harp

5-12 plucked strings climbing a major pentatonic scale from the root, 40-130 ms apart, each a Karplus-Strong string (0.8-2 s ring) with a 2 ms onset ramp; later notes are brighter and slightly softer.

Chord

root, fifth, ninth and octave as detuned sine pairs (+-4 cents) plus a faint triangle for warmth, low-passed at 1.2-3.5 kHz; it swells as the sweep peaks, then fades over about 1.5 s.

Sparkle

8-40 glass tinkles at 3-9 kHz, each a pair of inharmonic partials (1 : 2.76) with a 0.1-0.4 s decay, clustered right after the top of the sweep and thinning out, panned across the stereo field.

Envelope

sweep 0-0.8 s, chord bloom peaking near 0.8 s, sparkle burst 0.4-1.6 s, everything gone by ~2.5 s.

Variation

`rng` detunes strings and tinkles and picks sparkle pitches and pans; presets change scale reach, sweep speed, chord weight, brightness and sparkle density.
