A Scanned Synthesis virtual instrument
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes a virtual musical instrument based on the scanned synthesis technique and implemented in Max-Msp. The device is composed of a computer and three gesture sensors. The timbre of the produced sound is rich and changing. The instrument proposes an intuitive and expressive control of the sound thanks to a complex mapping between gesture and sound.

The Wablet: Scanned Synthesis on a Multi-touch Interface
This paper presents research into scanned synthesis on a multitouch screen device. This synthesis technique involves scanning a wavetable that is dynamically evolving in the manner of a massspring network. It is argued that scanned synthesis can provide a good solution to some of the issues in digital musical instrument design, and is particularly well suited to multi-touch screens. In this imp...
متن کاملThe Squiggle: A Digital Musical Instrument
This paper discusses some of the issues pertaining to the design of digital musical instruments that are to effectively fill the role of traditional instruments (i.e. those based on physical sound production mechanisms). The design and implementation of a musical instrument that addresses some of these issues, using scanned synthesis coupled to a “smart” physical system, is described.
متن کاملSlide Guitar Synthesizer with Gestural Control
This article discusses a virtual slide guitar instrument, recently introduced in [7]. The instrument consists of a novel physics-based synthesis model and a gestural user interface. The synthesis engine uses energy-compensated time-varying digital waveguides. The string algorithm also contains a parametric model for synthesizing the tube-string contact sounds. The real-time virtual slide guitar...
