Introduction 1 Introduction The String Studio is a synthesizer dedicated to the emulation of string instruments. The synthesizer is entirely based on the A|A|S physical modeling technology and uses no sampling nor wave tables. Instead it produces sound by solving, on the fly, mathematical equations modeling the different components involved in string instruments and how they interact.
Introduction • MIDI Keyboard (recommended) Keep in mind that the computational power required by the String Studio VS depends on the number of voices of polyphony and the sampling rate used. These computer configurations will enable you to play the factory presets with a reasonable number of voices. 1.2 Installation Mac OS Insert the String Studio VS program disc into your CD-ROM drive.

Introduction • Mac OS - Double-click on the String Studio VS icon located in the Applications folder. Before you start exploring the factory presets, take a moment to set up you audio and MIDI configuration as explained below. Audio Configuration Audio configuration tools are available from the Audio menu. The Audio Settings function allows you to select an audio output device from a list, organized by driver type, of those available on your computer.
1.5 Getting help 15 application for the first time, this “tree view” will include a destination folder for imported presets as well as a Library folder. To open a folder, click on the “+” symbol on Windows or I symbol on Mac OS which will reveal the folder content. The preset library is different from the program list and can be viewed as a repository containing all the presets available to the application.
Introduction • Worldwide: 1-514-871-8100 • Fax: 1-514-845-1875 • Email: support@applied-acoustics.com Our online support pages contain downloads of the most recent product updates, and answers to frequently asked questions on all A|A|S products. The support pages are located at: www.applied-acoustics.com/faq.htm 1.6 Forum and User Library The A|A|S community site contains the String Studio VS user forum, a place to meet other users and get answers to your questions.
Presets and MIDI maps 2 17 Presets and MIDI maps String Studio VS comes with several factory presets covering a wide range of sounds. This collection of presets lets you play and familiarize yourself with this synthesizer without having to tweak a single knob. Soon, however, you will be experimenting and creating your own sounds and projects that you will need to archive or exchange with other users. You may also want to control the parameters of String Studio VS with a specific MIDI controller.
Presets and MIDI maps list should be viewed as temporary or as a ‘working copy” of the preset whereas the version in the library should be viewed as permanent or as the ‘reference version”. When you start the application for the first time, the program list contains a selection of presets from the factory preset library. At that point, the presets in the program list are identical to their version in the library. 2.2 Playing and Changing Presets Presets are always played from the program list.
2.3 Editing and Saving Presets 19 program has changed. The 128 programs can therefore be customized by selecting different program numbers (by using the ‘+” and ‘−” buttons from the toolbar or selecting programs from the program list) and loading presets from the library. 2.3 Editing and Saving Presets Moving the different controls on the String Studio VS interface modifies the preset loaded in the current program.
Presets and MIDI maps from the View menu, or the Ctrl-L/Apple-L shortcut and double click on its icon in order to reload this version into the current program. String Studio VS will make sure that you do not loose modifications to a preset. In the case where a program holds a modified version of a preset and when trying to load a new preset from the library into this program, the application will ask you if you want to save the modified preset in the library.
2.5 Organizing the Preset Library 21 between two presets, click on the first one and then on the second one while keeping the Shift key depressed. Once a group of items has been selected, use the Copy and Paste functions as explained above. 2.5.3 Renaming Presets and folders On Windows systems, to rename a preset or folder, click a first time on the corresponding icon in the browser in order to select it. Then click a second time to enter in name edition mode.
2.5.7 Presets and MIDI maps Resizing the Browser In standalone mode, the browser can be resized. In order to change the size of the browser, position the mouse cursor on the line separating the browser from the String Studio VS control panel. When the cursor changes to a double-headed arrow, click-hold and move the mouse to the left or right as desired. In order to hide the browser completely, move the double-headed arrow cursor fully to the left.
2.9 Restoring the Factory Presets and MIDI Links 23 The second backup method will enable you to archive the entire material present in the browser. The content of the browser, including presets, MIDI maps and folders is saved into a database file. This second backup method simply consists in archiving this file. The database file location is different whether you are working on a Mac OS or Windows system.
3 Architecture of String Studio Architecture of String Studio String Studio is a synthesizer built around a String module. The graphical interface of the different modules of the synthesizer have been grouped into two panels as shown in Figures 8 and 9. In the first page (Panel A), one can find the modules related to the control of the synthesizer and an output effect stage. The actual synthesis modules appear on the second page (Panel B).
3.1 General Signal Flow 25 Figure 9: Synthesis modules of String Studio (Panel B). 3.1 General Signal Flow The general architecture of String Studio is presented in Figure 10 and follows the functioning of a real string instrument. It is the vibration from the String which constitutes the main sound production mechanism of the instrument. The string is set into motion by the action of an Excitator which can be a hammer, a pick or a bow.
Architecture of String Studio Excitator Damper Bridge or Pickup Finger String Fret Body of the Instrument Figure 10: General representation of String Studio. Geometry, pitch Damper velocity Env, LFO, pitch pitch Excitator String Pickup Filter Body Distortion pitch, velocity Termination EQ Output Effects Geometry L R Figure 11: Signal flow of String Studio. Modulation signals: dotted lines. 3.
3.3 Output Effect 3.3 Output Effect 27 At the end of the signal path, the audio signal from the instrument is sent to the output effect stage for further processing. A Reverb, Delay, and Chorus module are available in this effect stage allowing for a wide range of processing possibilities. Effects can be applied before or after mixing of the signal from each line as will be explained in greater detail in Section 4.18.
4 Parameters Parameters 4.1 General Functioning of the Interface 4.1.1 Tweaking Knobs All the knobs on the interface are selected by clicking on them. Once selected, they can be controlled in different ways depending on the effect you want to achieve. • For coarse adjustment click-hold on a knob and drag the mouse upwards or downwards to move it clockwise or counter-clockwise.
4.1 4.1.4 General Functioning of the Interface 29 Inverting a Signal The different modulation signals acting on the String, Excitator, Body, Termination, and Filter modules can easily be inverted by clicking on the small button appearing on the upper right of the corresponding gain knob. The signal is inverted when the button is on (LED lit on and value of 1). 4.1.
Parameters low notes which is a feature found in many keyboard instruments. Clicking on the inverter LED at the top of the modulation knob inverts this behavior. 4.2 The String Module In a string instrument most of the sound we hear is radiated from the body of the instrument. The strings themselves radiate just a small amount of sound directly but it is their vibrations that are transmitted to the body of the instrument, through the bridge, where they can be radiated efficiently.
4.3 The Excitator Module 31 4.3 The Excitator Module The String module can be played using different types of excitators in order to reproduce different types of instruments and playing techniques. The excitator is selected using the Type drop-down menu. The choices available are Plectrum, Hammer 1, Hammer2 or Bow. These different types of excitators share the same front panel but note that the names of the parameters controlled by the different black knobs vary for each excitator.
4.3.2 Parameters Hammer The Hammer is used to play instruments such as the piano or other percussive instruments. With this excitator, the string is set into free vibration following a force impact with the hammer. The hammer can be used in two modes, Hammer and Hammer 2, as illustrated in Figure 13. In the Hammer 1 mode, the hammer is located below the string and can only interact once with the string because of the action of gravity which brings it down after it has been raised to hit the string.
4.4 The Body Module 33 slip phase and moves in the opposite direction to that of the bow. When the string motion changes direction once more, it sticks to the bow again, moving with the bow until it breaks free and repeats the cycle. Note that the frequency of this stick-slip motion is exactly the same as that of the string oscillation; or, in other words, the pitch of the note played.
Parameters 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.
4.6 The Termination Module 35 set your synth or MIDI controller to send its sustain pedal signal via this MIDI Control Change message. Mass Damping Velocity Stiffness Figure 15: Functioning of the Damper 4.6 The Termination Module This module is used to model the fret/finger/string interaction as illustrated in Figure 16. In a real instrument, this interaction is used to change the effective length of the string and thereby fix the pitch of the note played.
Parameters Mass Finger Stiffness String Fret Stiffness Figure 16: The finger/fret interaction determined with the setting of the Position knob applied to the length of a string corresponding to C3 (middle C). Note that when the note played is such that the string length corresponding to this note is shorter than this position, the excitator or the damper will follow the fixation point of the string.
4.9 The Distortion module 37 Filter and Body modules are switched off. When the Pickup, the Filter and Body modules are on, the output signal from the Pickup is filtered by the Filter and Body modules. Finally, when the Pickup module is switched off, the output signal from the String is sent directly to the Filter and Body module. 4.9 The Distortion module The Distortion module implements a simple distortion effect, such as that found in electric guitar distortion pedals for example.
Parameters Amplitude (dB) Amplitude (dB) Gain = 30 dB Gain = 30 dB Gain = 20 dB Gain = 20 dB Gain = 10 dB 0dB Gain = 10 dB 0dB Gain = −30 dB Freq Gain = −30 dB Frequency (Hz) Freq Frequency (Hz) Figure 17: Low and high shelf filters. Gain = 30 dB, Q = 20 Amplitude (dB) Gain = 30 dB, Q = 50 Gain = 20 dB Gain = 10 dB 0dB Gain = 30 dB, Q = 20 Freq Frequency (Hz) Figure 18: Peak filter. 4.
4.11 The Filter Module 39 The cutoff frequency and resonance of the filters can be modulated with different modulation sources. The modulation sources include the keyboard pitch signal (Kbd) and the output of the Filter Envenvelope generator (Env) and LFO modules. Modulation signals with a positive value will increase the cutoff frequency and Q-factor of the filters while a negative value will decrease them.
Parameters 4.11.2 Resonant High-Pass Filter Q=10 Amplitude (dB) Q=4 0dB −3dB Q=2 Q=1 Slope (dB/Oct) Cutoff Frequency Frequency (Hz) Figure 20: Frequency response of the high-pass filter. The high-pass resonant filter works in exactly the opposite manner as the low-pass resonant filter by removing the frequency component of a signal located below the cutoff frequency while leaving those above the cutoff frequency unchanged.
4.11 The Filter Module 41 frequency and to attenuate the frequencies outside of this band as shown in Figure 21. The bandwidth of the band-pass filter is set with the Q knob while the center frequency is set with the Cutoff knob. The Order control sets the order of the filter. This parameter affects the slope of the roll-off on both sides of the center frequency. For a second order filter the slope is -6dB/Oct while for a fourth order filter it is -12dB/Oct. 4.11.
Parameters Amplitude (dB) Male Voice Female Voice F1 F2 F3 Frequency (Hz) Formant Frequencies Figure 23: Frequency response of the formant filter. and child (right position). The Q knob is used to cycle between vowels. Note that changing these parameters can be automated by using the different modulation signals. 4.12 The Filter Env Module The Filter Env envelope generator module is based on a standard ADSR (attack, decay, sustain, release) approach including velocity modulation.
4.13 The LFO Module 43 sustain 1Volt attack decay release 1Volt key pressed key released Figure 24: Response curve of an envelope generator 4.13 The LFO Module The LFO module is used as a modulation source for the Filter module. On the LFO module, one can adjust the waveform, rate and fade-in behavior. 4.13.1 Wave Shape The waveform of the LFO is selected with the Shape drop-down menu.
4.13.2 Parameters Rate There are two ways to adjust the rate, or frequency, of the output of the LFO module. If the Sync control is in its off position, the rate is fixed with the Rate knob. When the Sync control is on, the frequency of the oscillator is fixed relative to the frequency (tempo) of the master clock (see 4.18.1) and the value displayed in the Sync control.
4.14 The Keyboard Module 4.14 The Keyboard Module 45 The Keyboard module controls how the synthesizer voices respond to the events coming from an external MIDI keyboard or from a MIDI sequencer. The first row of controls (Tuning, Oct, Semi) is used to fix the pitch of the keyboard, and transpose the overall keyboard by octaves or semi-tones. The Stretch and Error knobs, on the bottom row, allow one to stretch the octaves and/or add a random error on each note played.
4.14.3 Parameters Unison The unison mode allows one to stack voices, in other words, play two or four voices for each note played on the keyboard. This mode creates the impression that several instruments are playing the same note together, adding depth to the sound. Each voice can be slightly detuned relative to the others by moving the Detune knob clockwise. Furthermore, voices can be desynchronized by adding a small time lag between their triggering with the Delay knob.
4.17 The Arpeggiator Module 47 when it is turned clockwise the depth of the vibrato will increase when the modulation wheel is used. The increase is always relative to the position of the Amount knob and will be greater as the Mod knob is turned clockwise. The vibrato can be adjusted not to start at the beginning of a note but with a little lag. This lag is set by the Delay knob.
4.17.2 Parameters Rhythmic Patterns The rhythmic pattern is shown on the Pattern display. Different rhythmic presets are available through the utility menu. Notes will be played as the 16-step display is scanned and the corresponding step is selected (green button on). The little arrow on the top of the display is used to fix looping points from which the rhythmic pattern will start being played again from the beginning.
4.18 4.18.1 The Output Effect Section 49 The Clock Module This module is used to control the tempo of the different effects of the output section as well as that of the LFO and Arpeggiator modules. The Source drop down menu is used to determine if the sync signal comes from an external source or from the internal clock of the module. The Tempo display indicates the value of the tempo in BPM (beats per minute).
Parameters The Delay drop down menu is used to choose between different delay algorithms. The effect can be synchronized to the Clock module with the Sync drop-down menu. Sync values range from 1/8 of a quarter note (a thirty-second note) to 16 quarter notes (4 whole notes) where the duration of the whole note is determined by the value (in BPM) appearing in the Tempo display of the Clock module. The effect can also be synced to a triplet (t) or dotted note (d).
4.18 The Output Effect Section 51 In the first configuration, the Chorus module is first applied, then the Delay and finally the Reverb module. In the second configuration, the signal is first processed by the Delay, then by the Chorus and the Reverb module. Note that each of the effects can be muted by selecting the Bypass preset in its respective algorithm selection drop down menu. 4.18.6 The Output Module This module is used to monitor levels of the left and right channels.
5 Toolbar Toolbar The toolbar at the top of the String Studio VS interface allows you to monitor important information related to your current set-up. 5.1 Program Display Displays the number and name of the program currently loaded in the synthesis engine. The + and − buttons on the left of the program number, or alternatively the + and − keys on the computer keyboard, are used to navigate upwards and downwards in the program list.
Audio and MIDI Settings 6 53 Audio and MIDI Settings This chapter explains how to select the audio and MIDI devices used by String Studio VS as well as how to create and edit MIDI links and MIDI maps. When referring to commands that are different on Windows and Mac OS systems, the commands are listed in the following order: Windows command/Mac OS command. 6.1 Audio Settings 6.1.
Audio and MIDI Settings 6.2.2 Creating MIDI Links Every control on the String Studio VS interface can be manipulated by an external MIDI controller. In most cases this is much more convenient than using the mouse, especially if you want to move many controllers at once. For example, you can map the motion of a knob on the interface to a real knob on a knob box or to the modulation wheel from your keyboard.
6.2 MIDI Settings 55 • Note that the range of a knob can be inverted by setting the value of Maximum Value to a smaller value than that of Minimum Value. • Click on the OK button and the link appears in the list of controllers linked to the control. • Click on the OK button again to confirm the change and to leave the MIDI Links window.
Audio and MIDI Settings 6.2.7 Defining a Default MIDI map It is possible to define a default MIDI map that will be loaded automatically when String Studio VS is launched. • First select a MIDI map by clicking on its icon in the browser and choose the MIDI Link Info command from the Edit or the Ctrl-I/Apple-I keyboard shortcut. One can also rightclick/control-click on the MIDI map icon and choose the MIDI Link Info command. • To change the default MIDI map select the Mark As Default option. 6.2.
6.3 Latency Settings 57 Note that this might not be possible on Mac OS or with ASIO drivers on Windows. In order to optimize the resources allocated to the calculation of audio by String Studio VS, it is possible to decrease the ratio of resources devoted to the calculation of graphics for the interface in favor of audio related calculations.
7 Using the String Studio VS as a Plug-In Using the String Studio VS as a Plug-In String Studio VS is available in VST, DXi, AudioUnit and RTAS (for Mac OS only) formats and integrates seamlessly into the industry most popular multi-track recording and sequencing environments as a virtual instrument plug-in. The plug-in versions will work exactly the same way as the standalone version, except for the audio, MIDI, and latency configurations that will be taken care of by the host sequencer.
7.6 MIDI channel 7.6 MIDI channel 59 Make sure that the MIDI controller, sequencer and String Studio VS all use the same MIDI channel. If you are not certain of the channel used by your controller or sequencer, set the MIDI channel of String Studio VS to Omni. 7.7 MIDI program change MIDI program changes are supported in the plug-in versions of String Studio VS.
