TalosString

Azure Talos is an expressive multi-string mechatronic chordophone. This ChucK class was developed throughout its construction to control each one of its string units.

Adding the class to your ChucK project:

1. Copy the "TalosString.ck" file to your project folder (or the intended location).

2. Add the TalosString class to your ChucK project using Machine.add() commands.

Using the class:

1. Declare a TalosString instance.

TalosString talos

2. Initialize the string unit using the init() function (with the string number and the port as arguments).

talos.init(1, 0)

3. Disable or enable performance modes by passing a 0 (off) or a 1--127 (on) value. Currently available modes: 20 - tremolo, 21 - palm mute, 22 - ghost notes, 23 - slide speed.

talos.setMode(20, 0)

4. Call the pluck() function with position, velocity, and length as arguments to play the string.

talos.pluck(0, 80, 2::second)

5. Additional utility functions are available in the "TalosString.ck" class file.

Examples:
