-
- The ToolKit comes with a wide variety of synthesis algorithms, all of which inherit from the stk::Instrmnt class. In this example, we'll fire up an instance of the stk::BeeThree FM synthesis class and show how its frequency can be modified over time.
-
- \include bethree.cpp
-
- We have used an Instrmnt pointer when referencing the BeeThree
- instance above, so it would be simple to replace the BeeThree class
- with any other STK instrument class. It should be noted, however,
- that a few classes do not respond to the setFrequency() function
- (e.g., Shakers, Drummer).
-
- The noteOn() function initiates an instrument attack. Instruments that are continuously excited (e.g., stk::Clarinet, stk::BeeThree) will continue to sound until stopped with a noteOff(). Impulsively excited instrument sounds (e.g., stk::Plucked, stk::Wurley) typically decay within a few seconds time, requiring subsequent noteOn() messages for re-attack.
-
- Instrument parameters can be precisely controlled as demonstrated above. A more flexible approach to instrument control, allowing arbitrary scorefile or realtime updates, is described in the next tutorial chapter.
