A Digital Synthesis Model of Double-Reed Wind Instruments

We present a real-time synthesis model for double-reed wind instruments based on a nonlinear physical model. One specificity of double-reed instruments, namely, the presence of a confined air jet in the embouchure, for which a physical model has been proposed recently, is included in the synthesis model. The synthesis procedure involves the use of the physical variables via a digital scheme giv...

Modeling Vocal-tract Influence in Reed Wind Instruments

This paper explores the influence of upstream vocal tract resonances in reed wind instrument performance and modeling. Vocal tract manipulations are a common, though sometimes subtle, performance practice exploited by experienced musicians to produce a variety of important acoustic effects, including contemporary performance techniques such as multiphonics and extended range playing. Several pr...

Simulation of Single Reed Instruments Oscillations Based on Modal Decomposition of Bore and Reed Dynamics

This paper investigates the sound production in a system made of a bore coupled with a reed valve. Extending previous work (Debut, 2004), the input impedance of the bore is projected on the modes of the air column. The acoustic pressure is therefore calculated as the sum of modal components. The airflow blown into the bore is modulated by reed motion, assuming the reed to be a single degree of ...
