Description

sekere is a semi-physical model of a sekere 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 sekere iamp, idettack [, inum] [, idamp] [, imaxshake]

Initialization

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

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 64.

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

The default damping_amount is 0.999 which means that the default value of idamp is 0.5. The maximum damping_amount is 1.0 (no damping). This means the maximum value for idamp is 1.0.

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

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

Examples

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

<CsoundSynthesizer>
<CsOptions>
; Select audio/midi flags here according to platform
-odac      ;;;realtime audio out
;-iadc    ;;;uncomment -iadc if realtime audio input is needed too
; For Non-realtime ouput leave only the line below:
; -o sekere.wav -W ;;; for file output any platform
</CsOptions>
<CsInstruments>

sr = 44100
ksmps = 32
