tune

One string. Pitch is set by thickness. Pluck where you grab the string and the timbre changes — pluck near the centre and it sings clean (fundamental dominant); pluck near an edge and it rings bright (more harmonics). How far you pull is how loud it gets, with a small bend on the side. Stack plucks for chords. Hold shift to bow.

thickness ↓ thicker = lower pitch 3 · 220 Hz

how to play

drag down + release on the string to pluck — at any point along it
thickness slider sets the open pitch (thicker = lower)
pluck position sets the timbre: centre = pure, edge = bright
pull depth sets how loud (and bends the pitch slightly sharp)
stack plucks before they decay to build a chord
hold shift while dragging to bow — sustained tone

The audio uses real string-mode physics: each pluck spawns three oscillators (fundamental + 2nd + 3rd harmonic) whose volumes follow the actual modal amplitudes for a triangular plucked string — a_n ∝ sin(nπx) / n². Pluck at the dead centre and the even modes literally have zero amplitude.
