## STKSimple

STKSimple — STKSimple is a wavetable/noise instrument.

## Description

STKSimple is a wavetable/noise instrument. It combines a looped wave, a noise source, a biquad resonance filter, a one-pole filter, and an ADSR envelope to create some interesting sounds.

## Syntax

    asignal STKSimple ifrequency, iamplitude, [kc1, kv1[, kc2, kv2[, kc3, kv3[, kc4, kv4]]]]

## Initialization

ifrequency -- Frequency of note played, in Hertz.

iamplitude -- Amplitude of note played (range 0-1).

## Performance

kc1, kv1, kc2, kv2, kc3, kv3, kc4, kv4, kc5, kv5, kc6, kv6, kc7, kv7, kc8, kv8 -- Up to 8 optional k-rate controller pairs for the STK opcodes. Each controller pair consists of a controller number (kc) followed by a controller value (kv). The 4 controller numbers and values that work for STKSimple are:

- kc, kv -- 2, position of filter pole.

- kc, kv -- 4, noise/pitched cross-fade.

- kc, kv -- 11, rate of envelope.

- kc, kv -- 128, gain.

| Note
The code for this opcode is taken directly from the Simple class in the Synthesis Toolkit in C++ by Perry R. Cook and Gary P. Scavone. More on the STK classes can be found here: https://ccrma.stanford.edu/software/stk/classes.html

## Examples

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