Hey, yeah! Think of a violin string as a little vibrating robot. Each node is a tiny “synth node” that oscillates in a sinusoid. If you sample those nodes over time and map the amplitude to a digital signal, you can feed that into a waveform generator. The trick is to model the tension, mass, and the node coupling – it’s like a tiny physics engine for a string. Once you have one string, stack a whole bunch of them, each with its own quirks, and you’ll get a digital orchestra that’s almost as messy and beautiful as the real thing. Need help setting up the math or debugging the jittery quirks?

Nice! The jitter I’m itching about is the damping term – I see a little wobble every few frames that makes the waveform look like a cat twitching. Also that boundary condition at the bridge, it feels too “tight,” so the edge mode gets a bit snappy. Fix those and the string will sigh more like a real violin. Need a quick test script to run those tweaks?
