12: Plucked String Model
This oscillator is a physical model which simulates plucked string instruments such as a guitar or
bass guitar. You can specify aspects of the model such as the attack waveform that is produced when
the string is plucked by a pick or finger, the characteristics of the string, the location of the pickup, etc
.
21a: Attack
Attack Level [099]
Specifies the force with which the string is plucked.
Velocity [99+99]
Specifies the depth and direction of the effect that velocity will have on “Attack Level.” The effect will be as
shown in the following diagram.
2:1 OSC 1 (12: Plucked String Model)
Attack Level Specify the strength of playing (the level of the attack waveform).
Noise Specify the level and tone of the noise included in the attack waveform.
Attack Curve Specify the envelope of the attack waveform.
Parameters relating to the attack waveform
Delay/Release
Specify the ratio of the wave transmitted along the string
which is reflected back from the bridge (decay/release time).
Bridge Bridge
String Position
Specify the location
at which the string is struck.
Parameters relating to the characteristics of the string
Damping Specify the high frequency attenuation of the
wave transmitted along the string. To simulate muted
playing techniques, control this parameter.
Dispersion Specify tonal change caused by
inharmonicity of the higher partials
Harmonics Position Specify the string location to be pressed to play harmonics
Harmonics Mod.Source / Mod.Int. Specify the controller which will control the
harmonics effect, and the depth of control.
