Synthesis of Wind-Instrument Tones
نویسنده
چکیده
Clarinet, oboe, bassoon, tuba, flute, trumpet, trombone, French horn, and English horn tones have been synthesized with partials controlled by one spectral envelope (fixed for each instrument regardless of note frequency) and three temporal envelopes. Musically literate auditors identified natural tones with 85% accuracy and our synthesized tones with 66% accuracy; a number of the confusions were intrafamily. With intrafamily confusions tolerated in the scoring, the auditors identified natural tones with 94% accuracy and our synthetic ones with 77% accuracy.

Perturbations of Synthetic Orchestral Wind-Instrument Tones
The relative significance of spectral and temporal envelopes for the synthesis of orchestral wind-instrument tones was evaluated by exchange of spectral and temporal envelopes among the wind instruments, by creation of artificial spectral envelopes, and by perturbation of the spectral envelopes. It was found that, for the oboe, clarinet, bassoon, tuba, and trumpet, where the spectral envelope i...
متن کاملNote transitions in Physical Models of a Wind Instrument
In simulating the playing of a musical note sequence with a physical model, not only the steady state tones but also the transition between the tones have to be modeled. This paper gives an overview of six different techniques for implementing note transitions, applied to a physical model of a wind instrument. Two specific solutions are further analyzed and compared. It is found that the parall...
متن کاملCombining Instrument and Performance Models for High-Quality Music Synthesis
Convincing synthesis of wind instruments requires more than the reproduction of individual tones. Since the player exerts continuous control over amplitude, frequency, and other parameters, it is not adequate to store simple templates for individual tones and string them together to make phrases. Transitions are important, and the details of a tone are affected by context. To address these prob...
متن کاملFrequency-Zooming ARMA Modeling for Analysis of Noisy String Instrument Tones
This paper addresses model-based analysis of string instrument sounds. In particular, it reviews the application of autoregressive (AR) modeling to sound analysis/synthesis purposes. Moreover, a frequency-zooming autoregressive moving average (FZ-ARMA) modeling scheme is described. The performance of the FZ-ARMA method on modeling the modal behavior of isolated groups of resonance frequencies i...
متن کاملGlottic configuration in wind instrument players.
INTRODUCTION Knowledge of occupational voice disorders has gained increased importance as more individuals rely on their voices for their work. Wind instrument players are a specific group of individuals that present intensive use of the vocal tract associated with blowing their instrument. Interestingly, only a small number of reports focus on the laryngeal function of such professionals. AI...
