🧬 SIGNATURE ONE-SHOT PULSE (TRACK ID)

Sound Design Summary

A custom-built percussive-melodic hit that functions as the track’s fingerprint.

Layers
	1.	Core Tone:
	•	Analog sine/triangle
	•	Short decay (120–160 ms)
	2.	Transient Click:
	•	Rim / snap / muted wood
	•	Aggressive high-pass
	•	Soft distortion
	3.	Texture Ghost:
	•	Reversed noise or breath
	•	Downward filter sweep

Processing
	•	Light saturation (parallel)
	•	Mono short room reverb
	•	Gate keyed to kick
	•	Resample to audio
	•	Delete MIDI source (commit)

⚠️ Rule: This pulse is never reused in other tracks.


🔁 HOOK ROTATION RULE
	•	Rotate A → B → C → A
	•	Never repeat Hook C back-to-back
	•	Tension before release is mandatory


📈 STRATEGIC OUTCOME
	•	Instantly recognizable sound identity
	•	Maximum DJ replay value
	•	Crowd reacts to rhythm, not lyrics
	•	Zero language dependency
	•	Built for clubs, festivals, radio edits, and short-form loops
