Description

Semi-physical models of various percussion sounds.

Initialization

iamp – Amplitude of output. Note: As these instruments are stochastic, this is only a approximation.

idettack – period of time over which all sound is stopped

Performance

knum – The number of beads, teeth, bells, timbrels, etc. If, zero the default value is:

     
         cabasa       = 512.0000
         crunch       =   7.0000
         sekere       =  64.0000
         sandpaper    = 128.0000
         stix         =  30.0000
	

kdamp – the damping factor of the instrument. The value is used as an adjustment around the defaults, with 1 being no damping. If zero, the default values are used. The defaults are:

         cabasa       =   0.9970
         crunch       =   0.99806
         sekere       =   0.9990
         sandpaper    =   0.9990
         stix         =   0.9980
	

kmaxshake – amount of energy to add back into the system. The value should be in range 0 to 1.
