Detailed Description

STK plucked stiff string instrument.

This class implements a simple plucked string algorithm (Karplus Strong) with enhancements (Jaffe-Smith, Smith, and others), including string stiffness and pluck position controls. The stiffness is modeled with allpass filters.

This is a digital waveguide model, making its use possibly subject to patents held by Stanford University, Yamaha, and others.

Member Function Documentation

void stk::StifKarp::setBaseLoopGain ( StkFloat  aGain  ) 

Set the base loop gain.

The actual loop gain is set according to the frequency. Because of high-frequency loop filter roll-off, higher frequency settings have greater loop gains.
