This page is activated when selecting the "strings" button on the top of the window.
It contains parameters that control all the string properties.
There are 2 strings for each note, and 88 keys, for a total of 176 strings.
All the parameters in this page can be adjusted on a per string basis.
tuning
This parameter controls the tuning of the strings. The value is in cents (+/- 50%).
As all the parameters in this page, each individual string can be tuned.
For instance it can be used to change from an equal temperament to a "just temperament",
lowering the left side, and increasing the right side, as in this picture.
The "R" button will change randonly the tuning of each string, making Sylfid not perfectly tuned,
as would be a real instrument.
unison
Each note has two strings. These strings can be in unison (exactly the same tuning),
or slightly untuned. Untuning these strings creates a more natural and lush sound.
Increasing it to much will make Sylfid sound very untuned.
sustain
This is the sustain of a note while a key is pressed, or while the sustain pedal is pressed.
This is in fact a characteristic of the string.
A bigger value will make the string resonate longer.
damper
When a key is released, and the sustain pedal is not pressed, a damper is applied
on the string (as on a piano.) This shortens the sustain of the note.
Setting it to 0 removes the damper (like on a harp.)
softness
This defines the material the strings are made of.
A small value makes the string sound more metallic.
A bigger value makes them more plastic, by quickly attenuating high frequencies.
A small value makes the sustain longer.
hammer pos

This is the position on the string where the hammer strikes the string.
In general a distance of 1/7 of the string (or 14) helps to remove dissonic harmonics.
It's interesting to note that striking the string exactly in the middle (50) generates
a very different sound.
bridge pos
This is the position where the vibrations of the strings are converted to a sound.
It does not act really like a bridge of a real instrument, but more like a microphone.
