Exciter: Controls the string excitation that is the simulated method of actuating the string's vibration. This 'impulse' is further refined with the 'Hi Cut' The Exciter stage determines the initial mode of contact. These controls allow you to simulate plucked, struck, picked and bowed sounds depending on the settings. Level - The red portion of the meter shows the 'over 0 dB' range when Sakura is in a calibrated output environment. Tune - Transpose the tuning +/- 50 cents. Transpose - Transpose the main pitch +/- 3 octaves. Reset Program - Reset Sakura program to the default state. Load Program - Load a single program (sound). Save Program - Save the current program (sound) as a single file. Left and right arrows step through presets. Preset - Load presets by clicking on the center of the name display. The Cherry Blossom - Click on the Blossom to display Credits, Version and Registration details. Ha.na.mi - The Japanese tradition of enjoying Sakura. Acoustics - Virtual acoustic space is then simulated with chorus, delay and reverberation effects. Resonance - The string's vibration then excites an 8-resonator 'body simulator' to model the size, material and shape of the instrument. String interaction - A single string or dual strings are mixed, panned and enveloped to simulate interactions (where desired). Vibration - Sakura's dual string model then gives the operator control over a wide range of parameters including damping, tension, positioning and string properties. Touch - An impulse, the mechanical contact with the string, is generated then shaped to simulate plucks, picks, scrapes, hammers, taps or humble fingers. Virtual modeling in Sakura follows a 5 stage hanami-method: Just as the traditionally cultivated and prized Sakura has 5 petals, Sakura the modeling instrument implements the hanami-go method:
Sakura, the string physical modeling instrument, expresses the delicacy andĬlick on the image above or the link below to jump to the help for that section.
Like the transient beauty of Sakura (Japanese Cherry Blossom), the sound of stringed instruments blossoms and fades. TRIAL ONLY: Sakura is provided as a demo version in FL Studio and needs to be purchased separately so you can save projects containing Sakura channels.
