MIDI Implementation

Lastly, MIDI is implemented to control the fundamental frequency, the hammer’s amplitude and the resonator’s decay and release time. It is important to reset the amplitude by setting it to zero on the first millisecond and then back to one on the second while simultaneously triggering the hammer and resetting the filters. This will avoid unwanted clicks and keep consistency at each trigger. Adding velocity control to the hammer’s amplitude will provide varied dynamics that affect the amount of harmonics produced by the pickup layer.
