## cabasa

cabasa — Semi-physical model of a cabasa sound.

## Description

cabasa is a semi-physical model of a cabasa sound. It is one of the PhISEM percussion opcodes. PhISEM (Physically Informed Stochastic Event Modeling) is an algorithmic approach for simulating collisions of multiple independent sound producing objects.

## Syntax

    ares cabasa iamp, idettack [, inum] [, idamp] [, imaxshake]

## Initialization

iamp -- Amplitude of output. Note: As these instruments are stochastic, this is only a approximation.

idettack -- period of time over which all sound is stopped

inum (optional) -- The number of beads, teeth, bells, timbrels, etc. If zero, the default value is 512.

idamp (optional) -- the damping factor, as part of this equation:

damping_amount = 0.998 + (idamp * 0.002)

The default damping_amount is 0.997 which means that the default value of idamp is -0.5. The maximum damping_amount is 1.0 (no damping). This means the maximum value for idamp is 1.0.

The recommended range for idamp is usually below 75% of the maximum value.

imaxshake (optional) -- amount of energy to add back into the system. The value should be in range 0 to 1.

## Examples

Here is an example of the cabasa opcode. It uses the file cabasa.csd.
