Like the transient beauty of Sakura (Japanese for Cherry Blossom), the sound
of stringed instruments blossoms and fades. Image-Line brings you .Sakura.,
the string physical modelling instrument, to express the delicacy and beauty
of stringed sounds.
Virtual modelling in Sakura follows a 5 stage hanami-process. :
Contact - An impulse, the mechanical contact with the string, is first
generated then shaped to simulate plucks, picks, scrapes, hammers, taps or
humble fingers.
Vibration - Sakura.s dual string model then gives the operator control over a
wide range of parameters such as damping, tension, positioning and string
properties.
String interaction . The dual strings are then mixed, panned and enveloped to
simulate interactions.
Resonance - The string/s vibration then interacts with an 8-resonator .body
simulator. to create the size, material and shape of the instrument
Acoustics - Virtual acoustic space is then simulated with chorus, delay and
reverberation effects.
