Architecture of String Studio
String Studio is a synthesizer built around a String module. The graphical interface of the different
modules of the synthesizer have been grouped into two panels as shown in Figures 14 and 15. In
the first page (Panel A), one can find the modules related to the control of the synthesizer and an
output effect stage. The actual synthesis modules appear on the second page (Panel B). One can
switch from one view to the other by using the Panel A and Panel B buttons appearing at the top of
the interface.
Figure 14: Control modules and output stage of String Studio (Panel A).
The first row of modules of Panel A is an output effect stage which includes a multi-effect
module, a master clock module, a master level control, and a recorder module. The bottom row
of this same panel includes the modules related to performance and the processing of MIDI events
including a Keyboard, Arpeggiator, Portamento and Vibrato module.
The modules of Panel B follow the general geometry of a string instrument which and is
composed of 5 main components: the String, the Excitator, the Body, the Termination and the
Damper module.
The individual modules and controls of the user interface will be described in detail in Chap-
ter 4. We will now take a closer look “under the hood” at how the different modules are connected
together.
