barmodel — Creates a tone similar to a struck metal bar.
Audio output is a tone similar to a struck metal bar, using a physical model developed from solving the partial differential equation. There are controls over the boundary conditions as well as the bar characteristics.
iK -- dimensionless stiffness parameter. If this parameter is negative then the initialisation is skipped and the previous state of the bar is continued.
ib -- high-frequency loss parameter (keep this small).
iT30 -- 30 db decay time in seconds.
ipos -- position along the bar that the strike occurs.
ivel -- normalized strike velocity.
iwid -- spatial width of strike.
A note is played on a metalic bar, with the arguments as below.
kbcL -- Boundary condition at left end of bar (1 is clamped, 2 pivoting and 3 free).
kbcR -- Boundary condition at right end of bar (1 is clamped, 2 pivoting and 3 free).
kscan -- Speed of scanning the output location.
Note that changing the boundary conditions during playing may lead to glitches and is made available as an experiment. The use of a non-zero kscan can give apparent re-introduction of sound due to modulation.
Here is an example of the barmodel opcode. It uses the file barmodel.csd.
