Ok, I got it now. It does sound a lot like a wind chime, doesn't it?

Ok. No offence taken, I hope!

I'm afraid I don't really have a better answer. Are you sure it's 
synthesised? I don't have any decent speakers to listen properly at the 
moment, I'm afraid.

In a similar vein to my last post - have you tried googling for "wind 
chime synthesis"? I haven't any great practical experience of synthesis, 
but I did just find a few interesting methods. I'm not sure what they 
would sound like though. You'd probably know better than me.

Also, are there any synthesis-related newsgroups or mailing lists where 
responses might be more useful?

Good luck!
