MBRASS -- brass instrument physical model
in RTcmix/insts/stk quick syntax:MBRASS(outsk, dur, AMP, FREQ, SLIDELEN, LIPFILT, maxpressure[, PAN, BREATHENV])CAPITALIZED parameters are pfield-enabled for table or dynamic control (see the maketable or makeconnection scorefile commands). Parameters after the [bracket] are optional and default to 0 unless otherwise noted. p0 = output start time (seconds) p1 = duration (seconds) p2 = amplitude (absolute, for 16-bit soundfiles: 0-32768) p3 = frequency (Hz) p4 = slide length (samps) p5 = lip filter (Hz) p6 = max pressure (0.0-1.0) p7 = pan (0-1 stereo; 0.5 is middle) [optional; default is 0.5] p8 = breath pressure table [optional; default is 1.0] p2 (amplitude), p3 (frequency), p4 (slide length), p5 (lip filter) and p7 (pan) can receive dynamic updates from a table or real-time control source. p8 (breath pressure table), if used, should be a reference to a pfield table-handle. Author: Brad Garton, based on code from the Synthesis ToolKit MBRASS is the "Brass" physical model in Perry Cook and Gary Scavone's STK, the Synthesis ToolKit. Usage NotesMBRASS models a simple brass instrument, using digital waveguide techniques. Dum-dah-dah-DAAAAAH! Here's what Perry says about "Brass":

These are approximate. Also note that the same pitch may be produced
by different combinations of parameters.
Also be aware that some combinations of parameters will yield no sound. The 'physics' have to work correctly! MBRASS can produce other mono or stereo output. Sample Scoresvery basic:
rtsetparams(44100, 2)
load("MBRASS")
amp = 40000
breathenv = maketable("line", 1000, 0,0, 0.05,1, 3.0,3, 3.5,0)
MBRASS(0, 3.5, amp, 249.0, 200, 279.0, 0.3, 0.5, breathenv)
MBRASS(4, 3.5, amp, 249.0, 400, 279.0, 0.3, 0.5, breathenv)
slightly more advanced:
rtsetparams(44100, 2)
load("MBRASS")
freq = maketable("line", "nonorm", 1000, 0,201, 1,314)
pan = makeLFO("tri", 0.5, 0.0, 1.0)
MBRASS(0, 3.5, 15000, freq, 200, 279.0, 0.3, pan)
bamp = maketable("line", 1000, 0,0, 1,1, 2,0)
slide = maketable("line", "nonorm", 1000, 0, 100, 1, 400, 3, 200)
lipfilt = makeLFO("sine", 3.5, 250, 400)
MBRASS(4, 3.5, 20000, 249.0, slide, lipfilt, 0.3, 0.5, bamp)
fun stuff!
