• Negative
values: Only a
small section of
the string is
affected
• Positive
values: A
broader section
of the string is
affected
The distance from
the resting
position.
• Negative
values: Push
the string away
from the
resting position.
• Positive
values: String is
unaffected
when in the
resting position.
The hardness of
the object
A disturb object
that is placed at a
fixed distance
from the string’s
resting position.
Disturb
No effectThe clearance of
the ring (the
distance between
the ring and
string)
• Negative
values: The
sides of the
damping ring
overlap,
influencing the
string if any
movement
occurs.
• Positive
values: There is
an amount of
clearance inside
the ring. The
string will be
influenced only
if moved
sufficiently to
actually touch
the ring.
The hardness of
the ring
Somewhat like a
ring placed
around the string,
which limits the
string’s vibration
in all directions.
Disturb 2-Sided
The damping of
the object
The stiffness of the
object
Controls the
gravity constant
for the object
lying/bouncing on
the string.
Emulates a loose
object lying or
bouncing on, and
interacting with,
the vibrating
string. This is very
random by nature
and can’t be
synchronized.
