Description

This instrument modulates a sine wave with the signal generated by the pluck opcode. You can optionally modulate a second time. For both you can choose between phase modulation and frequency modulation. Phase modulation usually sounds more harsh, frequency modulation usually sounds warmer. 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. The frequency of the sine and the pluck signal are the requested frequency multiplied by an integer from 1 to 5. To have the requested frequency as a basic harmonic, the greatest common divisor of these two integers should of course be 1. The envelope is that of the signal created by the pluck opcode, otherwise you are left with a dull sine when the signal of the pluck opcode has died out. Some knobs have a text field under them, these allow you to change the value (e.g. an extra p-field or a global value). 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 / Unsorted) for direct import of Sine modulo pluck into your project.
