pluck experiments with phase distributed oscillators (i.e. the worst detuning on purpose) – Sound Design Forum

What I’ve been meaning to do is take a DSF oscillator (because it can morph from saw to sine to get the “filtered pluck” aspect without the filter), and on top of that, increase the pluckiness by resetting phase on every attack. A little bit of randomness might harm or help, I forget (I’ve made perfect plucks in the past, I need to re-discover how I did it).

The reason you don’t want to use a filter for this is because it just doesn’t sound as good. I gotta prove it… [haven’t had time to get back on this]
