The Damper Section

Tension’s Damper Section.

All string instruments employ some type of damping mechanism that mutes the resonating string.

In pianos, this is a felt pad that is applied to the string when the key is released. In instruments

such as guitars and violins, the player damps by stopping the string’s vibration with the ﬁngers.

Dampers regulate the decay of strings but also produce some sound of their own, which is an

important characteristic of a string instrument’s timbre.

Although a damper functions to mute the string rather than activate it, it is somewhat analogous

to a hammer, and shares some of the same parameters.

The Mass knob controls how hard the damper’s surface will press against the string. As you in-

crease the value, the string will mute more quickly.

The stiffness of the damper’s material is adjusted with the Stiffness control. Lower values simulate

soft materials such as felt, while higher values model a metal damper.

Note that very high Mass and Stiffness values can simulate dampers that connect with the string

hard enough to change its effective length, thus causing a change in tuning.

The Velocity control adjusts the speed with which the damper is applied to the string when the

key is released, as well as the speed with which it is lifted from the string when the key is de-

pressed. Be careful with this parameter — very high Velocity values can cause the damper to hit

the string extremely hard, which can result in a very loud sound on key release. Note that the

state of the Gated switch determines whether or not the Velocity control is enabled. When the

Gated switch is turned on, the damper is applied to the string when the key is released. With

Gated off, the damper always remains on the string, which means that the Velocity control has

no effect.
