The Pick/Fingers Module
The
Pick/Finger
module allows one to control the parameters related with the excitation of the
string. It can simulate the excitation of the string with a pick or with a finger. Three different
pick/finger or plectrum models are implemented in
Strum
as shown in Figure 26, 27 and 28 each
of them corresponding to a different plectrum profile. The first two models are better to simulate
the interaction of the string with a hard pick while the third one is better to simulate the interaction
with a smoother object such as a smooth pick or a finger. The plectrum model is chosen using the
Type
selector.
