Simulation of Piano Sustain-pedal Effect by Parallel Second-order Filters
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a sustain-pedal effect simulation algorithm for piano synthesis, by using parallel second-order filters. A robust two-step filter design procedure, based on frequency-zooming ARMA modeling and least squares fit, is applied to calibrate the algorithm from impulse responses of the soundboard and the string register. The model takes into account the differences in coupling between the various strings. The algorithm can be applied to both sample-based and physics-based piano synthesizers.

Analysis and modeling of piano sustain-pedal effects.
This paper describes the main features of the sustain-pedal effect in the piano through signal analysis and presents an algorithm for simulating the effect. The sustain pedal is found to increase the decay time of partials in the middle range of the keyboard, but this effect is not observed in the case of the bass and treble tones. The amplitude beating characteristics of piano tones are measur...
متن کاملAdaptive Line Enhancement Using a Parallel IIR Filter with A Step-By-step Algorithm
A step-by-step algorithm for enhancement of periodic signals that are highly corrupted by additive uncorrelated white gausian noise is proposed. In each adaptation step a new parallel second-order section is added to the previous filters. Every section has only one adjustable parameter, i.e., the center frequency of the self-tuning filter. The bandwidth and the convergence factor of each secti...
متن کاملScore Following for Piano Performances with Sustain-Pedal Effects
One challenge in score following (i.e., mapping audio frames to score positions in real time) for piano performances is the mismatch between audio and score caused by the usage of the sustain pedal. When the pedal is pressed, notes played will continue to sound until the string vibration naturally ceases. This makes the notes longer than their notated lengths and overlap with later notes. In th...
متن کاملPiano pedaller: a measurement system for classification and visualisation of piano pedalling techniques
This paper presents the results of a study of piano pedalling techniques on the sustain pedal using a newly designed measurement system named Piano Pedaller. The system is comprised of an optical sensor mounted in the piano pedal bearing block and an embedded platform for recording audio and sensor data. This enables recording the pedalling gesture of real players and the piano sound under norm...
متن کاملPedal-Panner: Foot Control of a Secondary Task
Foot pedals have been widely used in music performance primarily for switching tasks such as the kick drum pedal, MIDI synthesizer pedal, guitar effects pedal and the piano sustain pedal. The commonality in these pedals is the one DOF of movement, which is mapped to one parameter at a time. A higher DOF controller for the foot like the pedal panner would enable the performer to control multi-pa...
