Abstract:

The Synthesis ToolKit (STK) is an ideal environment for creating physical models of musical instruments. Here we explain how to embed STK models of musical instruments into pd external objects. This makes them accessible to the whole pd community, and in particular, to people who do not know how to write STK code with C++.
