Running this in Extended now, it looks amazing. Do we really need Gem though? I figure it is just for displaying the array which is also a model of a string, right? Perhaps one could use a Data Structure array instead? Or just nothing at all to just focus on the sound. By the way, how do we set the frequency in your example? It seems fixed.
As for pdp, it seems it tries to use the webcam or video sources and I don't understand why.
In fact I know nothing about scanned synthesis and I just ran into it by accident when reading about vector synthesis in wikipedia, and I even read the original paper but I couldn't figure it out much yet.
It sounds at first some kinda of wavetable synthesis but it is clearly physical modeling, right?
Would love to dig more in it and provide an external myself but it looks quite complex...
thanks
