Timbre
Pluck the string. It's really synthesised. Timbre pairs a live Chladni-plate mode visualizer showing genuine resonance patterns with Karplus-Strong physical-modeling string synthesis — pluck the simulated string and hear a tone that's actually computed, not a sample. Built around two real acoustic-physics techniques luthiers use in practice, the site carries a warm parchment-and-tonewood palette with a copper accent, made for a bespoke string-instrument workshop.

Overview
Timbre is built around two acoustic-physics techniques a real luthier actually works with, not decorative approximations of them. A live Chladni-plate mode visualizer shows the genuine resonance patterns a maker uses to tune a soundboard — the same technique used on an actual workbench, sand or glitter on a vibrating plate revealing its nodal lines. And the site’s interactive centrepiece runs real Karplus-Strong physical-modeling string synthesis: a visitor can pluck a simulated string and hear a genuinely synthesised tone computed from the algorithm, not a sampled audio clip triggered on click. The palette — warm parchment and tonewood, with a copper accent — matches the workshop the theme is built for. This is the only theme in the catalogue whose signature interaction is audible rather than visual.
