A cartoon character tiptoeing away: five short plucked notes walking down a chromatic staircase, each one softer than the last, with a tiny floor creak between them. Use it for sneaking out, backing away from something, a plan quietly leaving the room, or a character trying not to be noticed.
steps: five triangle plucks at 1046, 988, 932, 880, 831 Hz (a chromatic walk down from C6), one every 110 ms, each 90 ms long pluck envelope: 3 ms attack, held flat to 22 ms, then a 60 ms linear release (a plucked string, not a bell) levels: 0.34, 0.30, 0.27, 0.23, 0.19 (each step quieter, like it is getting further away) creak: 4 short noise grains of 6-10 ms, band-passed at 900 Hz (Q 2.2), at 0.13 level, landing between the steps no room, no echo; buffer 0.56 s (the last note is gone by 0.52 s)
