Prompt

A 4-second trailer braam in C minor, 192,000 samples, 30 fps. 0-0.5 s: a short reversed-noise "suck" rising into a 40 ms vacuum. Frame 15 (0.5 s): the braam hits, a stack on C1, C2, G2, C3, Eb3 with three detuned band-limited saws per note, a brass formant peak near 700 Hz, a resonant low-pass snapping open from 200 Hz to 3.5 kHz in 80 ms and slowly closing over 2.5 s, a -60 cent pitch scoop into the note, 30 Hz growl amplitude modulation with gentle waveshaping, a sub knock and a short noise crack on the attack. A dark 3 s hall tail ends in true silence by 3.95 s. Side channel high-passed at 250 Hz; mono below 120 Hz. Must NOT resemble the THX Deep Note or any registered sound mark: no long converging glissando from a random cluster, no spread D-major resolution; this is a hard hit, not a swell.

Take angle 1 (faithful): implement the brief exactly as written.

  • Frame 15: braam hit

A reversed-noise suck into 40 ms of true silence, then on frame 15 a C-minor braam (C1, C2, G2, C3, Eb3; three detuned band-limited saws per note) with a ~700 Hz brass formant, a filter snapping open 200 Hz → 3.5 kHz, a −60 cent scoop, 30 Hz growl, sub knock and noise crack. Dark 3 s hall, silent by 3.95 s; side high-passed at 250 Hz, mono below 120 Hz. No converging glissando and no D-major resolution: a hard hit, not a sound-mark swell. Take 1 of 3 (faithful), picked as the most "trailer" of the three.
