Functional model of a simplified clarinet
نویسندگان
چکیده
A functional model of a simplified clarinet has been developed and implemented on a digital computer. The simplified clarinet consists of a standard clarinet mouthpiece and reed attached to a straight cylindrical tube. In the model, the tube and mouthpiece are represented by a lumped element approximation to a transmission line and the reed is represented as a nonuniform bar, clamped at one end. Differential equations for the system are solved numerically on a digital computer to obtain pressures and volume velocities of the air in the tube and mouthpiece, and positions of the reed at successive time increments. The model exhibits self-sustained oscillations, threshold blowing pressures, frequency shifts, and spectra of mouthpiece and radiated pressures which are similar to those of an actual simplified clarinet. A previously unreported dependence of volume velocity in the reed aperture on the initial or rest opening of the aperture was also found.

A Simple Dynamic Tonehole Model for Real-Time synthesis of Clarinet-like Instruments
In this paper, we present a digital method to simulate the effect of dynamic geometry modification of a simplified clarinet bore induced by tonehole closing or opening. For this purpose, we first consider a physical tonehole model where the closing of the hole is achieved by progressively reducing its radius. In the context of real-time synthesis of woodwind instrument tones obtained from digit...
متن کاملResponse of an artificially blown clarinet to different blowing pressure profiles.
Using an artificial mouth with an accurate pressure control, the onset of the pressure oscillations inside the mouthpiece of a simplified clarinet is studied experimentally. Two time profiles are used for the blowing pressure: in a first set of experiments the pressure is increased at constant rates, then decreased at the same rate. In a second set of experiments the pressure rises at a constan...
متن کاملSome roles of the vocal tract in clarinet breath attacks: natural sounds analysis and model-based synthesis.
A simplified physical model mainly devoted to the reproduction of some transients of clarinet-like instruments is presented. From time-frequency analyses of natural clarinet sounds, it is shown that the vocal tract can play a significant role in some attacks as well as in the permanent regime. The model proposed consists in supplying a pressure source at the entrance of a cylindrical bore attac...
متن کاملSimulations of modal active control applied to the self-sustained oscillations of the clarinet
Modal active control enables modifications of the damping and the frequencies of the different resonances of a system. A self-sustained oscillating wind instrument is modelled as a disturbance coupled to a resonator through a non-linear coupling. The aim of this study is to present simulations of modal active control applied to a modeled simplified self-sustained oscillating wind instrument (e....
متن کاملExperimental demonstration of the modification of the resonances of a simplified self-sustained wind instrument through modal active control
This paper reports the experimental results of modifying the resonances of wind instruments using modal active control. Resonances of a simplified bass clarinet without holes (a cylindrical tube coupled to a bass clarinet mouthpiece including a reed) are adjusted either in frequency or in damping in order to modify its playing properties (pitch, strength of the harmonics of the sound, transient...
