the sound depends on the used string itself;
for the string itself as an oscillator the 3 controls are
damping,
( controls the highs) decay (duration) and
Inharm (intonation)
on the position of pluging the string (not only the location on the string also the angle of the pluging)
on the pluging style (finger, plectron, nail etc. . ) even the nails itself (long short) makes a differece;
if you plug up or down;
The Excitation modual has 4 main controls besides type(plectre/bow/hammer 1/hammer 2) the "position" you excite the string at is in the
Geometry module as far as the angle and firmness of "pick" you have 1
protrusion (displacement amounts of string and plectre prior to string release into free vibration) 2
stiffness (of plectre) 3 Velocity
(the speed of excitation with plectre) and 4
Damp the self dampening of the excitator...
if you hold the other strings or not;
ah..... the elusive sympathetic resonance
(the dampening modual deals with where you mute your strings at note off time and has mass , hardness, and velocity settings in the muting as well) you can actually create secondary oscillations from the damper "example" harmonic muting
!!my tests where made on same body only steelstrings!!!
analysing the spectrum
finaly:
a A is not a A it depends on where you play and how;
to play (control) such a instrument on a keyboard live uahrrr . . .
better take a guitar and learn to play it . .
It is not going to eliminate the need of real string players..... But as a Soft Synth, The Sounds using this Modeler are Vast and sound like a "real physical instruments" some that have yet to be heard..........
A definite keeper
BTW Ver 2 (not released yet) is supposedly responsive to polyAT meaning independent string bends will be possible on the same midi channel.....
Time has No Master.
*NOW* is the Password.
Just *ASK* and *INVITE* every-
thing you are after..........
