Subjecteffect of aexite in wgpluck not noticeable
I was playing around with wgpluck. I noticed that making aexite 0 still 
produced sound.
I also expected that creating a 'dirty' exitation signal (a combination 
of noise, ring modulation under an exponential envelope) would produce 
interesting harmonics, but none of this is happening. Am I wrong about 
the assumptions of the exite signal?

I would expect the same as you. Did you try maing the amplitude zero? If the manual is correct, the iamp argument sets the amplitude of the initial pluck. If you are using another more free exciter signale, perhaps you need to set the amp to zero to let the waveguide be excited only by the axcite signal ? Partly guessing here, so do forgive if I'm off. Also, do check out Victor's more recent implementations of waveguides with allpass-adjusted delaylines for more precise tuning. IIRC there was a discussion with him and Aaron a while back(?). Those implementations would give you better control of what the exciter signal is, and where you insert it into the loop, and you could roll your own variations quite easily.

You are right, setting iamp to 0 does produce the desired result!
