Description

Audio output is a tone related to the striking of a cow bell or similar. The method is a physical model developed from Perry Cook, but re-coded for Csound.

Syntax

ares gogobel kamp, kfreq, ihrd, ipos, imp, kvibf, kvamp, ivfn

Initialization

ihrd -- the hardness of the stick used in the strike. A range of 0 to 1 is used. 0.5 is a suitable value.

ipos -- where the block is hit, in the range 0 to 1.

imp -- a table of the strike impulses. The file marmstk1.wav is a suitable function from measurements and can be loaded with a GEN01 table. It is also available at ftp://ftp.cs.bath.ac.uk/pub/dream/documentation/sounds/modelling/.

ivfn -- shape of vibrato, usually a sine table, created by a function.

Performance

A note is played on a cowbell-like instrument, with the arguments as below.

kamp -- Amplitude of note.

kfreq -- Frequency of note played.

kvibf -- frequency of vibrato in Hertz. Suggested range is 0 to 12

kvamp -- amplitude of the vibrato

Examples

Here is an example of the gogobel opcode. It uses the file gogobel.csd, and marmstk1.wav,
