Simulating Karplus Strong with PreenFM2

[keston]

Hi all,

I'm quite fond of the sound of Karplus Strong synthesis, but don't have any hardware that can "officially" do it. I've gotten some similar plucky vibrations out of the PreenFM2 without actually trying to simulate Karplus Strong. SO, It seems like the PreenFM2 might be pretty good at getting something that resembles Karplus Strong using FM and perhaps even using custom waveforms. I'm gonna take a crack at this when I have a spare couple of hours and share what I come up with. In the meantime does anyone have any thoughts on how to approach this problem?

Cheers!

John

So, I said I've give this a go when I had a couple of spare hours, so here's what I came up with:

If anyone wants the patch, I've attached the sysex for it.

Cheers!

Thanks a lot to take the time to share what you've found

Of course, Xavier! It's always a pleasure when I get to do sound design with my PreenFM2!
