parameters necessary to obtain the required fundamental frequency. The default value of this
parameter is 261.62 Hz which corresponds to the middle C (C3) of a piano keyboard. This
setting is convenient when controlling a String module with a Keyboard module. Decay:
proportional to the decay time of the sound produced by the string.
• Inharmonicity: detunes the partial toward higher frequencies with respect to the fundamental.
This parameter has a value between 0 and 1 where 0 represents a perfect string.
• Number of Modes: number of modes used to simulate the object. As the number of modes
is increased, the number of partials in the sound increases but also inevitably the calculation
load.
• Excitation point: x-coordinate, in meters, of impact point from the extremity of the string.
• Listening point: x-coordinate, in meters, of listening point from the extremity of the string.

module.
6.84 Sync delay
This modules is a simple delay line. Its main feature is that the delay time is
adjusted in steps relatively to a sync input. The first input of the module is used
to plug the sync input coming from a sequencer or from a Sync LFO. The second
input if the signal to be delayed. The output of the module is the same as the input
signal delayed by the amount of steps displayed in the front panel window, four steps
representing a quarter note. The LED light is illuminated when there is a sync signal
and the delay time does not exceed the delay line size.
Note: See also Delay, Static Delay and Sync Ping Pong Delay.
6.85 Sync LFO
The Sync LFO is a low frequency oscillator that can be synced to an external clock signal. The
sync signal can come from a Sequencer or another Sync LFO. This module generates signals at
