| Description: | Filament — Polyphonic Karplus–Strong Instrument Filament is a polyphonic Max for Live instrument built around the Karplus–Strong algorithm, designed for creating plucked, resonant, and evolving tonal textures. At its core, Filament generates string-like and percussive sounds shaped by dampening and brightness controls. The instrument operates across a range of just over three octaves, where it maintains stable and musical pitch behaviour before naturally drifting into more unstable, experimental territory. A dedicated modulation envelope drives a secondary resonant filter, allowing for dynamic tonal shaping that responds to each note. Combined with frequency modulation (FM) and adjustable modulation depth, Filament can move from clean, articulate plucks to rich, evolving harmonic textures. The latest update introduces an integrated stereo enhancement section featuring both chorus and stereo detuning. The chorus adds subtle movement and depth, while the stereo detuner creates gentle pitch differences between the left and right channels to produce a wider, more immersive sound capable of making binaural beats. Together, they bring additional warmth, spatial character, and animation without overpowering the core Karplus–Strong synthesis engine. Each processing stage includes its own wet/dry control, allowing precise blending between the raw Karplus–Strong signal and the processed output. This makes it easy to dial in anything from focused, percussive sounds to expansive ambient textures. đź”— Find me here Instagram: @supertramp162 Max for Live devices: https://www.maxforlive.com/profile/user/Supertramp162 KVR Audio: https://www.kvraudio.com/developer/supertramp162 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Supertramp162 |
