Sitar String Model

Tweet

Video focusing on non-linear sitar interaction:

As a second challenge in the seminar on how objects vibrate, taught by Miller Puckette at UCSD, we were asked to simulate the non-linear way a sitar string interacts with the sitar bridge. In a typical string, like on a guitar, the string maintains a fixed length regardless of whether it is moving upward or downward. Since a sitar bridge is a wide, flat object, with tapered edges, the string comes into contact with different amounts of the bridge depending on its direction of travel.

This is a physical model developed in Max to simulate the sitar string.
