Description

An real-time implementation of a physical model slide flute based on Perry Cook's slide flute. Various settings are available to tweek the flute sound.


PARAMETERS

Breath

Controls how much "breath" (noise) there is. Values are from 0.000 to 0.140.

Flow1: and Flow2:

Controls the ADSR envelopes for the flute, there are two of them, Flow1 controls mostly the breath.

Pressure

Amount of initial air pressure.

Feedback1

Sets the amount of particle feedback that goes through the embouchure part of instrument, higher values sound very resonant however also distorted, lower values sound more "air-ish".

Feedback2

Same as with Feedback1, however this is the amount of particle feedback going through the bore of the flute.

AttackAmt

A bit like a volume but not really, sets the initial "volume" going through the instrument, this is actually part of the ADSR envelopes

SustainAmt

Sets the sustained "volume" going through the instrument, this is actually part of the ADSR envelopes

RealVolume

Sets the output sound gain.


ATTRIBUTES

MIDI Channel

Sets the MIDI channel (0 to 16, 0 being known as omni) to listen to, behaves similarly to all the other Buzz machines that support MIDI.

MIDI Velocity

Sets how MIDI Velocity is treated with the flute:
0 - Don't use MIDI velocity for anything
1 - Flute pressure (light)
2 - Flute pressure (medium)
3 - Flute pressure (high)
4 - Real volume (light)
5 - Real volume (medium)
6 - Real volume (hard)
7 - Attack Amount (light)
8 - Attack Amount (medium)
9 - Attack Amount (hard)
10 - Sustain Amount (light)
11 - Sustain Amount (medium)
12 - Sustain Amount (hard)
13 - N\A
14 - N\A
15 - N\A

Note that the harder settings mean it requires less force on the keyboard to get higher values.

MIDI Transpose (-24..24 smt)

Sets how many semitones to transpose the MIDI note from the normal tuning on the flute. It goes from 24 semitones down to 24 semitones up.

MIDI Recording Enabled

Enables or Disables the use of the record button to record notes into the currently playing pattern

Older Tuning

Use the older slightly off tuning, either for "aesthetic backwards compatibility" or some other reasons.

Vibrato Amount

The amount of Vibrato to apply, smaller numbers gives less vibrato.

Body Ratio

Sets the ratio (normally 49:100 ~ 1:2) of the flute body's delay lines.
