Hi, How are you guys?
Can anybody tell me… Is there a smaller version of timpani_boing? Like the one we hear in movies and shows. Timpani_boing makes sound “dhauing”. Where as the one i heard in shows… the smaller version that makes sound like “toing”, tiny and smaller in length.

Please tell if you know of any similar sound available in episode.

What is the mood down sound? It sounds like boop and people use it while the character’s mood is down:)) i found it everywhere
