of the Size drop-down menu from Tiny to Huge. Basically, reducing the size of the Body, shifts its

frequency response toward higher frequencies while increasing it, results in a shift toward lower

frequencies. In addition to its shape and size, the material of the body also inﬂuences its radiation

and ﬁltering effects. This behavior is adjusted with the Damp and Decay knobs. The Damp knob

is used to set the amount of high frequencies in the body vibration, this amount being increased as

the knob is turned clockwise. The decay time of the vibrations is controlled with the help of the

Decay knob; it is increased by turning the knob clockwise.

The output signal from the Body module can further be monitored with the Mix and Level

knobs. The Mix knob is used to adjust the ratio of direct signal from the String module and the

signal ﬁltered by the Body in the output signal of the Body module. In its leftmost position the

output signal from the Body module will be that from the String module only while in its rightmost

position, there is no direct signal from the String module. When this knob is in its center position,

there is equal amounts of direct and ﬁltered signal in the output signal of the Body module. Finally,

the general level of the output signal from the Body module is controlled with the Level knob. Note

that the level of the output signal can be monitored with the Signal LED. This can be helpful when

trying to adjust the signal level at the input of the Distortion module or the other effect modules.

The color of the LED gives a rough indication of the sound level, when it is green the signal from

the body is faint, when it is orange the level is in the middle range while when it is red, the signal

level is high.

Note that the Body module is made inactive or bypassed by selecting the Off option in the Type

control. Even when this option is chosen, the Level knob is active which means that the sound level

from the String can still be monitored by this knob.

4.5 The Damper Module

The Damper module is used to attenuate rapidly the vibration

of the string. In a piano or harpsichord, this role is played by

felts while for the violin or the guitar, the performer’s ﬁnger is

used to damp the string vibrations. Basically, the damper can be

viewed as a mass/spring system acting on the string as illustrated

in Figure 15. The Mass and Stiff knobs are used to adjust these

parameters, which affect how the damper interacts with the string.

These physical parameters can be modulated with the pitch signal

from the Keyboard and ﬁne-tuned over the whole range of the

instrument. The Velocity knob is used to adjust the velocity at which the damper is applied and

released from the string. This parameter can also be modulated with the pitch signal from the

Keyboard module. The last parameter of the Damper module is controlled with the Damp knob

and refers to the ability of the damper to absorb energy from the string. Turning this knob clockwise

will increase the damping exerted on the string by the damper.

Note that the Damper module responds to the sustain pedal signal via the Damper MIDI Con-

trol Change message (CC#64). In order for String Studio VS to respond to a sustain pedal, simply
