MSITAR

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


MSITAR models an Indian sitar. It uses a modified Karplus-Strong ("plucked string" -- see the STRUM instrument) algorithm.

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 "Brass":




p-fields: 
/* MSITAR - the "Sitar" 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 = pluck amp (0.0-1.0)
   p5 = percent of signal to left output channel [optional, default is .5]

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