sleighbells — Semi-physical model of a sleighbell sound.
sleighbells is a semi-physical model of a sleighbell 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.
ares sleighbells kamp, idettack [, inum] [, idamp] [, imaxshake] [, ifreq] \
[, ifreq1] [, ifreq2]
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 32.
idamp (optional) -- the damping factor, as part of this equation:
damping_amount = 0.9994 + (idamp * 0.002)
The default damping_amount is 0.9994 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 0.03.
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 2500.
ifreq1 (optional) -- the first resonant frequency. The default value is 5300.
ifreq2 (optional) -- the second resonant frequency. The default value is 6500.
kamp -- Amplitude of output. Note: As these instruments are stochastic, this is only an approximation.
Here is an example of the sleighbells opcode. It uses the file sleighbells.csd.
