STKWurley

STKWurley — STKWurley simulates a Wurlitzer electric piano FM synthesis instrument.

Description

Plugin opcode in stkopd. This opcode is part of the plugin repository and has to be installed separately. The plugin repository can be found here: https://github.com/csound/plugins

STKWurley simulates a Wurlitzer electric piano FM synthesis instrument. It uses two simple FM Pairs summed together, also referred to as algorithm 5 of the TX81Z.

Syntax

asignal STKWurley ifrequency, iamplitude, [kmod, kv1[, kcross, kv2[, klfo, kv3[, klfodepth, kv4[, kadsr, kv5]]]]]

Initialization

ifrequency -- Frequency of note played, in Hertz.

iamplitude -- Amplitude of note played (range 0-1).

Performance

kmod -- controller 2, modulator index 1. Value range of kv1 is 0-127.

kcross -- controller 4, crossfade of outputs. Value range of kv2 is 0-127.

klfo -- controller 11, speed of low-frequency oscillator. Value range of kv3 is 0-127.

klfodepth -- controller1, depth of low-frequency oscillator. Value range of kv4 is 0-127.

kadsr -- controller 128, ADSR 2 and 4 target. Value range of kv5 is 0-127.

[Note] Note

The code for this opcode is taken directly from the Wurley class in the Synthesis Toolkit in C++ by Perry R. Cook and Gary P. Scavone. More on the STK classes can be found here: https://ccrma.stanford.edu/software/stk/classes.html

kc1, kv1, kc2, kv2, kc3, kv3, kc4, kv4, kc5, kv5, kc6, kv6, kc7, kv7, kc8, kv8 -- Up to 8 optional k-rate controller pairs for the STK opcodes. Each controller pair consists of a controller number (kc) followed by a controller value (kv). Both the controller numbers and the controller values are krate variables. However, during a performance, normally the controller numbers stay fixed while the corresponding controller values may change at any time. The order of the controller pair is arbitrary, as long as they are after iamplitude. Also, it is not needed that all controller pairs are used.

Examples

Here is an example of the STKWurley opcode. It uses the file STKWurley.csd.
