wgpluck2

wgpluck2 — Physical model of the plucked string.

Description

wgpluck2 is an implementation of the physical model of the plucked string, with control over the pluck point, the pickup point and the filter. Based on the Karplus-Strong algorithm.

Syntax

ares wgpluck2 iplk, kamp, icps, kpick, krefl

Initialization

iplk -- The point of pluck is iplk, which is a fraction of the way up the string (0 to 1). A pluck point of zero means no initial pluck.

icps -- The string plays at icps pitch.

Performance

kamp -- Amplitude of note.

kpick -- Proportion of the way along the string to sample the output.

krefl -- the coefficient of reflection, indicating the lossiness and the rate of decay. It must be strictly between 0 and 1 (it will complain about both 0 and 1).

Examples

Here is an example of the wgpluck2 opcode. It uses the files wgpluck2.orc and wgpluck2.sco.

Example 438. Example of the wgpluck2 opcode.

/* wgpluck2.orc */
; Initialize the global variables.
sr = 44100
kr = 4410
ksmps = 10
nchnls = 1

; Instrument #1.
instr 1
  iplk = 0.75
  kamp = 30000
  icps = 220
  kpick = 0.75
  krefl = 0.5

  apluck wgpluck2 iplk, kamp, icps, kpick, krefl

  out apluck

/* wgpluck2.sco */
; Play Instrument #1 for two seconds.
