wgbowedbar

wgbowedbar — A physical model of a bowed bar.

Description

A physical model of a bowed bar, belonging to the Perry Cook family of waveguide instruments.

Syntax

ares wgbowedbar kamp, kfreq, kpos, kbowpres, kgain [, iconst] [, itvel] \
      [, ibowpos] [, ilow]

Initialization

iconst (optional, default=0) -- an integration constant. Default is zero.

itvel (optional, default=0) -- either 0 or 1. When itvel = 0, the bow velocity follows an ADSR style trajectory. When itvel = 1, the value of the bow velocity decays in an exponentially.

ibowpos (optional, default=0) -- the position on the bow, which affects the bow velocity trajectory.

ilow (optional, default=0) -- lowest frequency required

Performance

kamp -- amplitude of signal

kfreq -- frequency of signal

kpos -- position of the bow on the bar, in the range 0 to 1

kbowpres -- pressure of the bow (as in wgbowed)

kgain -- gain of filter. A value of about 0.809 is suggested.

Examples

Here is an example of the wgbowedbar opcode. It uses the file wgbowedbar.csd.
