EXi: STR-1 Plucked String

STR-1 Overview

The STR-1 Plucked String offers a comprehensive and
sophisticated set of physical modeling synthesis tools,
capable of creating both traditional sounds (acoustic and
electric guitars and basses, clavinets and harpsichords, harps,
bells, electric pianos, ethnic instruments, etc.) and unique,
experimental timbres.
Some of the feature hilights include:
• Physically modeled string, including damping, decay,
dispersion, nonlinearity, and harmonics
• String excitation via a selection of "pluck" types, a noise
generator with saturation and dedicated filter, and any
mono samples from ROM, EXs, Sampling Mode, or
User Sample Banks (using Korg's ultra-low-aliasing
PCM oscillator, as first introduced in the HD-1)

• Dual multi-mode resonant filters (including Korg's Multi
Filter, as first introduced in the AL-1), plus an additional
multi-mode resonant filter dedicated to the string
excitation
• Live audio input, including modeled feedback
• Up to 40-voice polyphony
• Four per-voice LFOs, five re-triggerable EGs, two key
tracking generators, a string tracking generator, and four
AMS mixers
• Access to all standard EXi Program features, including
the Common LFO, Common Step Sequencer, Key Track
1 & 2, KARMA, EQ, and effects–as well as layering
with any other EXi (including using two STR-1s
together!)
