Russell Stoneback releases
Light Guitar for Mac v1.0
07th August 2009
Dr. Russell Stoneback has released
the
Light Guitar
plug-in, a
new, free, Audio Unit plug-in that reproduces the
behavior of the
Light Guitar,
a musical instrument that uses light to make music, and
allows you to easily customize the sound of the
instrument by adjusting various parameters. The plug-in
is built on Core Audio. Simply plug in your instrument
of choice, load the plug-in into Garageband (or
equivalent) and enjoy.
Adjustable Parameters:
- The frequency multiplier slider effectively
increases/decreases the size of the instrument,
changing the sound of the guitar.
- Two different configurations were measured
for the Light guitar, one that excites waves on
the outer surface of the instrument and one
exciting internal modes - both are included and
independently selectable.
- The strings on an acoustic instrument have a
large effect on the instrument's sound and the
same effect applies to light instruments.
However, a string for a light instrument is a
coaxial cable. The real/imaginary impedance
sliders allow you to easily alter the "string"
connected to the light guitar.
- The impulse slider lets you change how long
the light guitar effects music played through
the plug-in.
