Dispersion Modeling in Waveguide Piano Synthesis Using Tunable Allpass Filters

چکیده
This paper extends a previously proposed method for designing filters simulating the dispersion phenomenon occurring in string instruments. In digital waveguide synthesis, the phenomenon is traditionally modeled by inserting an allpass filter to the string model feedback loop. In this paper, the concept of tunable dispersion filter design, which provides a closed-form formula to design a dispersion filter, is applied to a cascade of first-order allpass filters. Moreover, the method is extended to design a filter cascade including an arbitrary number of first-order filters. In addition, it is shown how the designed dispersion filter can be used in a waveguide piano synthesis model.

Inharmonic Dispersion Tunable Comb Filter Design Using Modified Iir Band Pass Transfer Function
An excitation/filter system of Inharmonic sound synthesis signal is presented with an application to piano, a stiff string instrument. Specific features of the piano string important in wave propagation, dispersion due to stiffness, frequency dependent losses and presence of phantom partials are included in the proposed model. The modified narrow bandpass filter is used as a basic building bloc...
متن کاملImplementation of fractional delay waveguide models using allpass filters
This paper discusses a discrete-time modeling technique where the length of time delays can be arbitrarily adjusted. The new system is called a fractional delay waveguide model (FDWM). Formerly, FDWMs have only been implemented with FIR-type fractional delay filters. We show how an FDWM can be implemented using allpass filters. We use low-order allpass filters that are maximally-flat approximat...
متن کاملFull Mesh Warping Techniques
This paper discusses methods for the elimination of dispersion in a digital waveguide mesh. As in previous methods, a highly isotropic waveguide mesh is chosen as a starting point, reducing the problem to compensation of frequency-dependent dispersion. For this purpose, as an alternative to Savioja and Välimäki’s technique of frequency-warping the input/output signals, we propose (1) inhomogene...
متن کاملNonlinear Allpass Ladder Filters in Faust
Passive nonlinear filters provide a rich source of evolving spectra for sound synthesis. This paper describes a nonlinear allpass filter of arbitrary order based on the normalized ladder filter. It is expressed in FAUST recursively in only two statements. Toward the synthesis of cymbals and gongs, it was used to make nonlinear waveguide meshes and feedback-delay-network reverberators.
متن کاملRobust Design of Very High-Order Allpass Dispersion Filters
A nonparametric allpass filter design method is presented for matching a desired group delay as a function of frequency. The technique is useful in physical modeling synthesis of musical instruments and emulation of audio effects devices exhibiting dispersive wave propagation. While current group delay filter design methods suffer from numerical difficulties except at low filter orders, the tec...
