The Decay slider determines how long it takes for the resonating string to decay to silence.
Higher values increase the decay time. The <Key slider next to Decay allows decay time to be
modulated by note pitch.
The Ratio slider sets the ratio of the decay time of the string’s oscillation during note onset and re-
lease. At 0%, the time set by the Decay slider sets the decay time for both the onset and release
of the note. As you increase the Ratio, the release time decreases but the onset decay time stays
the same.
The Vibrato Section
Tension’s Vibrato Section.
The Vibrato section uses an LFO to modulate the string’s pitch. As with all of Tension’s param-
eters, the controls in this section can be used to enhance the realism of a stringed instrument
model — or to create something never heard before.
The two most important parameters in this section are the Rate and Amount sliders. Rate adjusts
the frequency of the pitch variation, while Amount adjusts the intensity (amplitude) of the effect.
The Delay slider sets how long it will take for the vibrato to start after the note begins, while At-
tack sets how long it takes for the vibrato to reach full intensity (as set by the Amount knob).
The <Mod slider adjusts how much the modulation wheel will affect the vibrato intensity. This
control is relative to the value set by the Amount knob.
The Error slider introduces unpredictability into the vibrato, by introducing random deviation to
the Rate, Amount, Delay and Attack parameters.
