[ Resonator | Drone | Tuning | Scale ]
The Sympathetic Resonator consists of eight physically modeled strings (nylon to steel), a Sitar Bridge, and other added features. The modeled guitar can be played through the string resonator, or the string resonator can be enabled to a self-droning mode. All of GeoShred's tuning systems are supported for the Sympathetic Resonator.
Parameters:
General Group
Enable
Enable is used to turn on/off the Sympathetic Resonator Effect.
Range: Off/On (default Off).
Bypass
Bypass is used to bypass sending the input to the resonator, effectively placing the input and the resonator in parallel. A common way to use this would be to place the resonator in self-droning mode, but bypass running the input signal through the droner to allow performing "with" the droner rather than "through" the droner.
Range: Off/On (default Off).
In
Sets the level of the input signal to the resonator
Range: 0 to 1 (default 0.5).
Out
Sets the level of the out signal from the resonator
Range: 0 to 1 (default 0.5).
Wet
Sets the mix between the input signal and the resonated signal.
Range: 0 to 1 (default 0.5).
Strings Group
Decay
String Decay Time in seconds when the string is excited. This is
the T60 for the guitar strings (time to decay
by 60 dB after being plucked). Crank it up for more sustain!
Range: 0 to 20 sec (default 10).
Material
The Material parameter varies the brightness
and decay time of the string, ranging from nylon strings
to steel strings.
Range: 0 to 1 (default 1).
Stiffness
Zero Stiffness results in harmonic overtones. Increasing
Stiffness results in a stretched overtone series. That is, the
fundamental frequency remains fixed while all higher partial overtones
go up in frequency.
Range: 0 to 1 (default 0).
Pick Position
The Pick Position is where each string is being plucked
along its length. Plucking right at the Bridge produces no sound
because the Bridge does not move much, so keep Pick Position greater
than zero to obtain sound output. Plucking at the Middle of the
string suppresses all even harmonics, producing a characteristic
clarinet-like or square-wave-like tone (only odd harmonics).
Range: 0 to 1 percent (default 0.758).
Sitar Bridge Group
Enable
The Sitar is a South Asian lead stringed-instrument. Its bridge (Jivari) uses a different kind of nonlinearity caused by curving the bridge parabolically, so that the string length is modulated continuously over a portion of its vibration cycle.
A
The A parameter sets the amount of nonlinearity
Range: -1 to 1 (default -0.75).
Offset
Offset applied to A parameter.
Range: -1 to 1 (default 0.084031).
Mod
Sitar Bridge Modulation amount in percent.
Range: 0 to 0.1 percent (default 0.012097).
