Detailed Description

PhISEM and PhOLIES class.

PhISEM (Physically Informed Stochastic Event Modeling) is an algorithmic approach for simulating collisions of multiple independent sound producing objects. This class is a meta-model that can simulate a Maraca, Sekere, Cabasa, Bamboo Wind Chimes, Water Drops, Tambourine, Sleighbells, and a Guiro.

PhOLIES (Physically-Oriented Library of Imitated Environmental Sounds) is a similar approach for the synthesis of environmental sounds. This class implements simulations of breaking sticks, crunchy snow (or not), a wrench, sandpaper, and more.

Member Function Documentation

void stk::Shakers::noteOn ( StkFloat  instrument,
StkFloat  amplitude 
) [virtual]

Start a note with the given instrument and amplitude.

Use the instrument numbers above, converted to frequency values as if MIDI note numbers, to select a particular instrument.

Implements stk::Instrmnt.

StkFrames & stk::Shakers::tick ( StkFrames frames,
unsigned int  channel = 0 
) [inline, virtual]

Fill a channel of the StkFrames object with computed outputs.

The channel argument must be less than the number of channels in the StkFrames argument (the first channel is specified by 0). However, range checking is only performed if _STK_DEBUG_ is defined during compilation, in which case an out-of-range value will trigger an StkError exception.

Implements stk::Instrmnt.
