Fork Code: DWG sitar model

name
code content
/*
Based on a model by David Ronan (http://issta.ie/wp-content/uploads/The-Physical-Modelling-of-a-Sitar.pdf).
Requires sc3-plugins.

Lacks shimmer. Sounds more like a banjo than a sitar. I don't know whether
this is just a matter of tuning parameters or whether the model itself needs
fixing.
