Stringbox
If you've ever made a sound near a piano, then you know what Stringbox is. The strings of the
piano vibrate by sympathetic resonance. If there is sound energy at the frequency of a string (or
a multiple of that frequency), that string will vibrate. By holding down different combinations of
keys, a ghostly harmony can be created.
The Stringbox algorithm is a resonator that reacts to whatever energy it sees. It has 88 courses
of virtual strings, with each course consisting of three strings. The strings can be tuned in several
ways and those strings may be detuned relative to one another. The characteristics of the
strings–the material from which they are made–can also be easily adjusted.
