Generators

Pluck

Generate a plucked-string note at a chosen MIDI pitch.

Generates a synthesised plucked-string note. It is useful for a quick tuning reference, a marker tone, or simple melodic parts built up one note at a time.

The Pluck dialog

Where to find it

The Generate menu.

Controls

  • Pluck MIDI pitch — 1 to 120, default 60. MIDI note numbers, so 60 is middle C and the other C notes are 36, 48, 72, 84 and 96.
  • Fade-out type — Abrupt or Gradual. Abrupt is the default; Gradual lets the note ring on longer before dying away.
  • Duration (60s max) — 0 to 60 seconds, default 1.

Notes

The generated note is normalised to a peak of about 0.8, so it will not clip however you set the pitch.

Like the other generators, it writes into the selected track at the cursor, or creates a new track if none is selected.
