Description

STKStifKarp is a plucked stiff string instrument. It a simple plucked string algorithm (Karplus Strong) with enhancements, including string stiffness and pluck position controls. The stiffness is modeled with allpass filters.

Syntax

asignal STKStifKarp ifrequency, iamplitude, [kpos, kv1[, ksus, kv2[, kstretch, kv3]]]

Initialization

ifrequency -- Frequency of note played, in Hertz.

iamplitude -- Amplitude of note played (range 0-1).

Performance

kpos -- controller 4, pickup position. Value range of kv1 is 0-127.

ksus -- controller11, string sustain. Value range of kv2 is 0-127.

kstretch -- controller 1, string stretch. Value range of kv3 is 0-127.

	Note
The code for this opcode is taken directly from the StifKarp class in the Synthesis Toolkit in C++ by Perry R. Cook and Gary P. Scavone. More on the STK classes can be found here: https://ccrma.stanford.edu/software/stk/classes.html kc1, kv1, kc2, kv2, kc3, kv3, kc4, kv4, kc5, kv5, kc6, kv6, kc7, kv7, kc8, kv8 -- Up to 8 optional k-rate controller pairs for the STK opcodes. Each controller pair consists of a controller number (kc) followed by a controller value (kv). Both the controller numbers and the controller values are krate variables. However, during a performance, normally the controller numbers stay fixed while the corresponding controller values may change at any time. The order of the controller pair is arbitrary, as long as they are after iamplitude. Also, it is not needed that all controller pairs are used.
