Pluck — Draw & pluck strings, or watch it self-play classical pieces

1
•
A math-based string simulator. The result is a satisfying toy where you can pluck chords, tinker with melodies, or just sit back and enjoy an audio-visual experience of classical music.

Both the audio and visuals are generated using the same math, rendered at different speeds so the eye can see. No tricks or audio files are used: everything is calculated from raw sine waves, with a theory of how energy is released in a pluck. I've been working on this side project for a while now. Since 2012 I've been tinkering with digital audio synthesis with a focus on the trigonometry of timbre. I've previously made http://tonehack.com where you can create timbres using scratch, and the exploration of the topic has led to building accurate realtime string simulations on the GPU, which became Pluck.
