Name Description Strength controls Timbre controls Variation controls
Disturb
A disturb object
that is placed at a
fixed distance from
the string’s resting
position
The hardness of the
object
The distance from
the resting position
••
Negative
values: Push
the string away
from the resting
position.
••
Positive
values: Do not
affect the string
in the resting
position.
Controls width.
••
Negative
values: Affect
only a small
section of the
string.
••
Positive
values: Affect a
broader section
of the string.
Disturb 2-sided
Somewhat like a
ring placed around
the string, which
limits the string’s
vibration in all
directions
The hardness of
the ring
The 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.
No effect
Bouncing
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.
Controls the gravity
constant for the
object lying/
bouncing on the
string.
The stiffness of the
object
The damping of the
object
