Semi-physical model of a stick sound.

<h2>Description</h2>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>stix</em></span> is a semi-physical model of a stick sound. It is one of the PhISEM percussion opcodes. PhISEM (Physically Informed Stochastic Event Modeling) is an algorithmic approach for simulating collisions of multiple independent sound producing objects.

<h2>Syntax</h2>
<pre class="synopsis">ares <span class="command"><strong>stix</strong></span> iamp, idettack [, inum] [, idamp] [, imaxshake]</pre>
</div>
<div class="refsect1" title="Initialization">
<a id="idp45356104"></a>
<h2>Initialization</h2>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>iamp</em></span> -- Amplitude of output. Note: As these instruments are stochastic, this is only a approximation.
</p>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>idettack</em></span> -- period of time over which all sound is stopped
</p>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>inum</em></span> (optional) -- The number of beads, teeth, bells, timbrels, etc. If zero, the default value is 30.
</p>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>idamp</em></span> (optional) -- the damping factor, as part of this equation:
</p>
<div class="literallayout">
<p>damping_amount = 0.998 + (idamp * 0.002)</p>
</div>
<p>
</p>
<p>
The default <span class="emphasis"><em>damping_amount</em></span> is 0.998 which means that the default value of <span class="emphasis"><em>idamp</em></span> is 0. The maximum <span class="emphasis"><em>damping_amount</em></span> is 1.0 (no damping). This means the maximum value for <span class="emphasis"><em>idamp</em></span> is 1.0.
</p>
<p>
The recommended range for <span class="emphasis"><em>idamp</em></span> is usually below 75% of the maximum value.
</p>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>imaxshake</em></span> (optional) -- amount of energy to add back into the system. The value should be in range 0 to 1.
</p>
