Set Amplitude (of All Modes)

(set-amplitude object_reference controller)

The (set-amplitude ... ) function requires two arguments:

• object_reference: name of the object whose modes' relative amplitudes will be altered.
• controller: a multi-dimensional controller used to determine the frequency of the object's modes.

The number of dimensions in the controller should correspond to the number of modes in the object, or the remaining mode losses will be set to zero.

This function is used to set all the mode the frequencies to new values:

• (setq my-string (make-object 'mono-string (modes 4)))

  (set-amplitude my-string (const 0.2 0.5 0.8 1.0))

This function is not yet implemented for Hybrids; an error message will be displayed if object is of hybrid type.

There are no special options for this function.
