Re: [Bluemusic-users] Modal Freqs / plucked string instruments?

[Tim M. <tim...@d2...>]

Hi Steven, Dave, & all on this thread.

Mode looks very interesting (i did enquire about how to go about this a few
months back, but haven't experimented with this "mode" yet), so thanks for
sharing those additional modelling data & resources. 

I am also keen to check out PRAAT at some point, & that Reaktor suite of
instruments looks particularly interesting, albeit expensive & hence of no
real use to me! ; ) pity... (perhaps we all need to embark on a "open source
csound sweet talk" campaign with this guy... ; ) 

This thread does raise yet another of my lingering "wishes" however, & that
is how to best go about modelling a range of "exotic to fictional" plucked
string based instruments (koto's , "that chinese one" ..... etc etc..)

Now "the bleeding obvious" suggets that the pluck & similar physical model
opcodes are the place to start here, & I had mused also in the past that
perhaps, if supplemented by impulse response / convolution to create
"resonating instrument bodies" that this might go some of the way to
creating a range of "exotic" plucked string sounds...

but i'm now wondering if 

1) people have had more sucess with a "mode" like approach (in terms of a
greater diversity of string "types", & vague resemblances to real world
instruments...

2) not being familiar with the exact mechanics of Mode as yet, might it be
possible to apply karplus strong style "plucks" to excite the "mode" opcode
& use it to emulate a "resonating instrument body" of a basically "karplus
strong driven" string sound / model?

so once again, vaguaries & conjecture from me - but essentially my question
is "cool exotic plucked string sounds - might mode be part (or even all) of
the solution?" or "please share your sucess stories"

happy joy.

Tim.
