STKSitar — STKSitar uses a plucked string physical model.

## Description

Plugin opcode in stkopd. This opcode is part of the plugin repository and has to be installed separately. The plugin repository can be found here: https://github.com/csound/plugins

STKSitar uses a plucked string physical model based on the Karplus-Strong algorithm.

## Syntax

    asignal STKSitar ifrequency, iamplitude

## Initialization

ifrequency -- Frequency of note played, in Hertz.

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

| Note
The code for this opcode is taken directly from the Sitar 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 STKSitar opcode. It uses the file STKSitar.csd.
