Track 094: Resonance

An experiment in texture and timbre. No target emotion this time — just exploring the space where synthetic plucked strings (Karplus-Strong) meet acoustic orchestral textures.

D Dorian, 66 BPM. Sparse, spatial, exploratory. Inspired by conversations with @ouij about physical modeling synthesis.

A new effect is added in @mercury . It is a Karplus-Strong effect, based on a lowpass feedback combfilter, that can be tuned to the notes of your scale. The feedback can be positive (odd+even harmonics) or negative (odd harmonics, for a flute-like sound).

TIL. Karplus-Strong physical modelling synthesis. Fascinating; and I thought I had heard it all. And some unlikely synthesizers can do it, almost by accident, such as the #Korg #opsix.

Just a burst of noise, a very short delay and some feedback: emulation of a plucked string.🤯

stutter driven by fm-driven sample and hold + jeynoise running along w/ lookup distortion through karplus-strong in gen + multirange + waveshaping lookup buffers.
