mode
mode — A filter that simulates a mass-spring-damper system
Description
Filters the incoming signal with the specified resonance frequency and quality factor. It can also be seen as a signal generator for high quality factor, with an impulse for the excitation. You can combine several modes to built complex instruments such as bells or guitar tables.
Performance
aout -- filtered signal
ain -- signal to filter
kfreq -- resonant frequency of the filter

|---|---|
|
This filter becomes unstable if sr/ifreq < pi (e.g ifreq > 14037 Hz @44kHz) |
kQ -- quality factor of the filter
The resonance time is roughly proportionnal to kQ/kfreq.
See Modal Frequency Ratios for frequency ratios of real intruments which can be used to determine the values of kfreq.
Examples
Here is an example of the mode opcode. It uses the file mode.csd.
