bamboo — Semi-physical model of a bamboo sound.

Description

bamboo is a semi-physical model of a bamboo sound. It is one of the PhISEM percussion opcodes. PhISEM (Physically Informed Stochastic Event Modeling) is an algorithmic approach for simulating collisions of multiple independent sound producing objects.

Syntax

ares bamboo kamp, idettack [, inum] [, idamp] [, imaxshake] [, ifreq] \
      [, ifreq1] [, ifreq2]

Initialization

idettack -- period of time over which all sound is stopped

inum (optional) -- The number of beads, teeth, bells, timbrels, etc. If zero, the default value is 1.25.

idamp (optional) -- the damping factor, as part of this equation:

damping_amount = 0.9999 + (idamp * 0.002)

The default damping_amount is 0.9999 which means that the default value of idamp is 0. The maximum damping_amount is 1.0 (no damping). This means the maximum value for idamp is 0.05.

The recommended range for idamp is usually below 75% of the maximum value.

imaxshake (optional, default=0) -- amount of energy to add back into the system. The value should be in range 0 to 1.

ifreq (optional) -- the main resonant frequency. The default value is 2800.

ifreq1 (optional) -- the first resonant frequency. The default value is 2240.

ifreq2 (optional) -- the second resonant frequency. The default value is 3360.

Performance

kamp -- Amplitude of output. Note: As these instruments are stochastic, this is only an approximation.

Examples

Here is an example of the bamboo opcode. It uses the file bamboo.csd.
