Instruments

I was testing the different Instruments on an AudioKit with the default sample rate proposed by STK. The Voicer can be used to output the sound of multiple instruments at the same time and it is using midi-notes (and not frequencies) as input.

Properly working instruments

  • BeeThree
  • BlowHole
  • Bowed (if sample rate <= 22050)
  • Clarinet
  • Drummer
  • Flute
  • Rhodey
  • TubeBell
  • Mandolin
  • ModalBar
  • Moog
  • Plucked
  • Saxofony
  • Shakers
  • Sitar
  • StifKarp
  • TubeBell
  • Wurley

Instruments with Potential Issues

  • BandedWG: raising Exception in resize (potentially not enough RAM)
  • BlowBotl: scratching sound
  • Brass: no clean sound on low notes
  • Most FM Instruments have problems
    • FMVoices: fizzy sounds
    • PercFlut: cracking sounds
    • HevyMetl: some notes have issues
  • Recorder (not sure)
  • Resonate: seems to produce just random noise
  • Simple: low frequencies are very noisy
  • VoicForm: not sure how to use this class
  • Whistle: nobody whistles like this!

I am not sure what the issue is, so if you find out, please let me know!
