Bound
Mass
A boundary that
limits and reflects
string movement.
This is much like
a fingerboard
that limits string
movement when
the string is
plucked very firmly.
Used to model an
additional mass
attached to the
string. This can
lead to inharmonic
sounds, and very
interesting results,
if the position
of this mass is
modulated along
the string.
The distance from
the boundary
center position to
the string’s resting
position
The mass size/
weight
The slope
(steepness) of the
boundary. A value
of 0.0 places the
boundary parallel
to the string. Other
values will position
the boundary
closer to the string
on one end and
farther away on the
other.
No effect
The amount of
reflection at the
boundary limits
No effect
Damp
Localized damper,
which is useful for
soft damping
The intensity of the
damping
The damping
characteristics
The width of the
damped string
section
