Force
The force knob is a gain knob acting on the force input of a Bowed Multimode object.
Velocity
The velocity knob is a gain knob acting on the velocity input of a Bowed Multimode object.
Noise
The noise knob is used to set the amount of irregularities in the bow structure.
Damping vs Frequency
In a mechanical structure, the damping, or decay time, varies for the different frequency compo-
nents of the oscillating motion. The variation of the damping with frequency is characteristic of
the material of a structure and is adjusted, in a Multimode object, with the damp/frq knob on the
module front panel. In the left position, the decay time of low frequencies is shorter than that of
high frequencies; in the right position the opposite holds. As a rule of thumb, steel and glass are
found in the left position; nylon in the center position; and wood in the right position.
Typical Use
A good module to drive a Bowed Multimode module is an ADSR.
