sympathetic strings emulator
someone posted in the generators wishlist a desire to have a physically modeled sitar synthesizer. i replied to him that rather than a sitar syth, why not have a effect that could take a signal from another generator and add on sympathic strings sounds? then you could run all kinds of things into it. basically, you could just have a series of maybe 10-20 different sympathetics that would have a tuning slider for what frequency they played, and then like.. a threshold slider for how much signal it took to trigger them, and then a volume slider for each to setup the mix of the instrument. another option could be a feedback control to feed that signal back into the unit so that say, the orginal signal wasn't enough to trigger one of the strings, but was enough for another, but then the combined signal for those two WERE enough to trigger the third.
another, there is a lot of information about how sympathetics work online, and an effect like this could be very cool even if it reacted slightly differently than 'real' sympathics do.
another neet implimentation could be to link it to a sample back so it would trigger a sample rather than generating a synthesized sound. that could be a cool way to add variation into drum lines...
it could even just be a 'sympathetic gate' that could be chained into other generators as a controller. so say.. Synth A goes into the symp. gate, triggers at a certain threshold to send a certain note on command + effects data to another synth machine or sampler machine, or whatnot.

2001-12-07: try whacking your signal through some resonating filters or bandpass etc., with narrow bands and stuff set to the frequencies u want it to resonate it... then into a reverb or something... should do something kinda similar anyways. by lee_dc
2001-12-08: Reverb before the filters might also be very effective. by lykwydchykyn
2003-08-04: You can also double the actual notes played (well, the ones to which the sympathetic strings are tuned) with a machine with long attack and release. Voila.
I've been thinking about trying this to simulate a nyckelharpa (keyed fiddle) for a while, just for fun, but... yeah. by FireCat
