Bar

The Bar is a stiff bar that rings when struck, like a glockenspiel or marimba bar, or a tine held at one end. Like every Resonator, it takes Springs, Exciters, and Mics anywhere along its length, and its pitch follows the played note. Its contact points are placed along its length with Contact: U, from 0 at one end to 1 at the other.

Its Frequency, decay, Material, Mode EQ, and other shared properties are documented on the Resonator page.
