STKFMVoices
STKFMVoices — STKFMVoices is a singing FM synthesis instrument.
Description
Plugin opcode in stkopd. This opcode is part of the plugin repository and has to be installed separately. The plugin repository can be found here: https://github.com/csound/plugins
STKFMVoices is a singing FM synthesis instrument. It has 3 carriers and a common modulator, also referred to as algorithm 6 of the TX81Z.
Syntax
asignal STKFMVoices ifrequency, iamplitude, [kvowel, kv1[, kspec, kv2[, klfo, kv3[, klfodepth, kv4[, kadsr, kv5]]]]]
Initialization
ifrequency -- Frequency of note played, in Hertz.
iamplitude -- Amplitude of note played (range 0-1).
Performance
kvowel -- controller 2, vowel. Value range of kv1 is 0-127.
kspec -- controller 4, spectral tilt. Value range of kv2 is 0-127.
klfo -- controller 11, speed of low-frequency oscillator. Value range of kv3 is 0-127.
klfodepth -- controller 1, depth of low-frequency oscillator. Value range of kv4 is 0-127.
kadsr -- controller 128, ADSR 2 and 4 Target. Value range of kv5 is 0-127.

The code for this opcode is taken directly from the FMVoices class in the Synthesis Toolkit in C++ by Perry R. Cook and Gary P. Scavone. More on the STK classes can be found here: https://ccrma.stanford.edu/software/stk/classes.html kc1, kv1, kc2, kv2, kc3, kv3, kc4, kv4, kc5, kv5, kc6, kv6, kc7, kv7, kc8, kv8 -- Up to 8 optional k-rate controller pairs for the STK opcodes. Each controller pair consists of a controller number (kc) followed by a controller value (kv). Both the controller numbers and the controller values are krate variables. However, during a performance, normally the controller numbers stay fixed while the corresponding controller values may change at any time. The order of the controller pair is arbitrary, as long as they are after iamplitude. Also, it is not needed that all controller pairs are used. |
