Description

This is a basic instrument using the pluck opcode. The pluck opcode is in a UDO called mvpPluck, that adjusts the parameters if necessary, so you can twiddle around with the parameters without caring about the restrictions. It does not allow you to choose a custom table. You can specify a release time, which is necessary if the note ends before the signal dies out by itself. I added an experimental feature: you can silence the begin of the instrument, which takes away the transients at the very beginning, producing a more monotonous but often still beautiful sound. Of course you have to take into account in your score that if you use this feature, the signal will start a little later. Usage: p4: pitch or frequency p5: in decibels below 0dbfs if 0 or negative, otherwise amplitude as fraction of 0dbfs (0-1)
You can either download the .binstr file above and import it in Blue, or open Tools → BlueShare in Blue (under Instruments / Tutorial Instruments) for direct import of Pluck into your project.
