repluck

repluck — Physical model of the plucked string.

Description

repluck is an implementation of the physical model of the plucked string. A user can control the pluck point, the pickup point, the filter, and an additional audio signal, axcite. axcite is used to excite the 'string'. Based on the Karplus-Strong algorithm.

Syntax

ares repluck iplk, kamp, icps, kpick, krefl, axcite

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).

Performance

axcite -- A signal which excites the string.

Examples

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