Prepared Piano Sound Synthesis

Controlling complex virtual instruments – A setup with note~ for Max and prepared piano sound synthesis

This paper describes a setup for embedding complex virtual instruments such as a physical model of the prepared piano sound synthesis in the sequencing library note~ for Max. Based on the requirements of contemporary music and media arts, note~ introduces computer-aided composition techniques and graphical user interfaces for sequencing and editing into the real time world of Max/MSP. A piano r...

Physics - Based Sound Synthesis of the Piano Balázs Bank

The present work is about the synthesis of piano sound based on the grounds of physical principles. For that, rst the acoustical properties of the piano have to be understood, since the underlying physical phenomena establish the framework for the model-based sound synthesis. Therefore, the di erent parts of the piano were measured and analyzed. The groundwork of the piano model lies in the dig...

An Exploration on the Influence of Vibrotactile Cues during Digital Piano Playing

An exploratory experiment was carried out in which subjects with different musical skills were asked to play a digital piano keyboard, first by following a specific key sequence and style of execution, and then performing freely. Judgments of perceived sound quality were recorded in three different settings, including standard use of the digital piano with its own internal loudspeakers, and con...

Final Project: Piano Sounds Synthesis with an emphasis on the modeling of the hammer and the piano wire

Musical instrument modeling: the case of the piano

Real-time sound synthesis by physical modeling requires accurate design of each model block, together with special care on efficiency, computability, complexity issues. This paper review the case of the piano: implementation of the complete model is discussed, from the sound generation mechanism to radiation issues and couplingpedal effects. Several design techniques are discussed and compared ...
