Connector Methods
The Connector methods listed below allow any combination of access and anchor points to be coupled together. To recap, an anchor point is a fixed numerical value (usually 0.0) and a spring is connected between the access point specified and this anchor point, effectively restricting the vibrations of the instrument at that point.
(<access point 1>, <access point 2>)
(<access point 1>, <access point 2>, <strength>)
(<access point>, <anchor>)
(<access point>, <anchor>, <strength>)
(<anchor>, <access point>)
(<anchor>, <access point>, <strength>)
The <strength> argument expected by
some of the methods sets the strength of the spring used to connect
the two points. It is usually a value in the range [0..1] but higher
values may sometimes work. You should be aware though that if you
use a value higher than 1 Tao's cellular model may become unstable,
leading to exponentially increasing noisy vibrations. This is limitation
inherent the kind of discrete time step modelling used by Tao.
