<p>prepiano —
Creates a tone similar to a piano string prepared in a Cageian fashion.

<a id="idp37066568"></a>
<h2>Description</h2>
<p>
Audio output is a tone similar to a piano string, prepared with
a number of rubbers and rattles. The method uses a
physical model developed from solving the partial differential
equation.

<div class="refsect1" title="Initialization">
<a id="idp37078768"></a>
<h2>Initialization</h2>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>ifreq</em></span> -- The base frequency of the string.
</p>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>iNS</em></span> -- the number of strings involved. In a
real piano 1, 2 or 3 strings are found in different frequency regions.
</p>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>iD</em></span> -- the amount each string other that the
first is detuned from the main frequency, measured in cents.
</p>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>iK</em></span> -- dimensionless stiffness parameter.
</p>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>iT30</em></span> -- 30 db decay time in seconds.
</p>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>ib</em></span> -- high-frequency loss parameter (keep this small).
</p>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>imass</em></span> -- the mass of the piano hammer.
</p>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>ifreq</em></span> -- the frequency of the natural
vibrations of the hammer.
</p>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>iinit</em></span> -- the initial position of the hammer.
</p>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>ipos</em></span> -- position along the string that the strike occurs.
</p>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>ivel</em></span> -- normalized strike velocity.
</p>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>isfreq</em></span> -- scanning frequency of the reading place.
</p>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>isspread</em></span> -- scanning frequency spread.
</p>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>irattles</em></span> -- table number giving locations of
any rattle(s).
</p>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>irubbers</em></span> -- table number giving locations of
any rubbers(s).
</p>
<p>
The rattles and rubbers tables are collections of four values,
preceeded by a count.
In the case of a rattle the four are position, mass density
ratio of rattle/string,
frequency of rattle and vertical length of the rattle. For the
rubber the fours are position, mass density ratio of
rubber/string, frequency of rubber and the loss parameter.

<div class="refsect1" title="Performance">
<a id="idp37117160"></a>
<h2>Performance</h2>
<p>
A note is played on a piano string, with the arguments as below.
</p>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>kbcL</em></span> -- Boundary condition at left end of
string (1 is clamped, 2 pivoting and 3 free).
</p>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>kbcR</em></span> -- Boundary condition at right end of
string (1 is clamped, 2 pivoting and 3 free).
</p>
<p>
Note that changing the boundary conditions during playing may
lead to glitches and is made available as an experiment.
