MBLOWBOTL

the "BlowBotl" physical model (in package insts.stk)


MBLOWBOTL is a physical model instrument that recreates the haunting sound of a simple Helmholtz resonator. Once you hear this, you will probably never want to use any other instrument ever again. Well, maybe not...

It was originally adapted from Perry Cook and Gary Scavone's STK, the Synthesis ToolKit for doing amazing physical model stuff.

Here's what Perry says about "BlowBotl":




p-fields: 
/* MBLOWBOTL - the "BlowBotl" physical model instrument in
        Perry Cook/Gary Scavone's "stk" (synthesis tookkit).

   p0 = output start time
   p1 = duration
   p2 = amplitude multiplier
   p3 = frequency (Hz)
   p4 = noise gain (0.0-1.0)
   p5 = max pressure (0.0 - 1.0, I think...)
   p6 = percent of signal to left output channel [optional, default is .5]

   Assumes function table 1 is breathPressure (amplitude) curve for the note.
   Or you can just call setline. If no setline or function table 1, uses
   flat curve.
