Pluck_EZ-AG.ens Readme

History:

The Pluck_EZ-AG is a Reaktor based physical modeling synthesizer. It is based on the Pluck Synth that came as example with an article series that I wrote for the german Keyboards magazine in 2003/2004.
Pluck_EZ-AG was intended to be published as part of this series but as far as I am aware it never made it into the magazine.
This synthesizer was initially created using Reaktor4. A Reaktor5 compatible version is supplied with the package.

Controls:

  • point:
    Plucking point  (bridge ... sound hole)
  • noise:
    Noise amount in the initial pluck sound
  • v>noins:
    velocity control of pluck noise
  • v>eq:
    velocity control of low pass applied to the pluck sound.
  • leer:
    this button determines how Pluck behaves when a fret button is lifted to an empty string (pull off):
    • sus - the empty string is vibrating when the hold pedal is pressed.
    • inv - the empty string is vibrating when the hold pedal is released.
  • fret trig:
    Amount of trigger noise when notes are played using the fretboard.
  • damp:
    linear damping factor. This controls the string decay. Use the sliders to the right of the button to adjust the setting for each single string.
  • material:
    String material varying from gut/nylonlike to brilliant/metallic
  • Level:
    output level

have fun
