## STKModalBar

STKModalBar — STKModalBar is a resonant bar instrument.

## Description

This opcode is a resonant bar instrument.It has a number of different struck bar instruments.

## Syntax

    asignal STKModalBar ifrequency, iamplitude, [khard, kv1[, kpos, kv2[, klfo, kv3[, klfodepth, kv4[, kmix, kv5[, kvol, kv6[, kinstr, kv7]]]]]]]

## Initialization

ifrequency -- Frequency of note played, in Hertz.

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

## Performance

khard -- controller 2, hardness of the stick. Value range of kv1 is 0-127.

kpos -- controller 4, stick position. Value range of kv2 is 0-127.

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

klfodepth -- controller 1, depth of low-frequency oscillator. Value range of kv4 is 0-127.

kmix -- controller 8, direct stick mix. Value range of kv5 is 0-127.

kvol -- controller 128, volume. Value range of kv6 is 0-127.

kinstr -- controller 16, instrument presets (0 = marimba, 1 = vibraphone, 2 = agogo, 3 = wood1, 4 = reso, 5 = wood2, 6 = beats, 7 = two fixed, 8 = clump). Value range of kv7 is 0-16.

| Note
The code for this opcode is taken directly from the ModalBar 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 STKModalBar opcode. It uses the file STKModalBar.csd.
