Working with Banded Waveguides and Friction in Musical Contexts

Physical Modeling of audio signals is a method for achieving musical textures in a class of sounds related to a timbre class associated with an instrument family or perhaps acoustical phenomena which can be applied to a musical context. Many of these models are based on the concept of a waveguide algorithm defined simply as a model of a traveling wave, its reflections and its discontinuities. B...

Banded Waveguides: Towards Physical Modeling of Bowed Bar Percussion Instruments

Efficient physical models of bar percussion instruments which preserve spatial sampling are not yet available. In this paper, banded waveguides are proposed as an efficient method for simulating the physics of bars including spatial sampling. In addition two other models are investigated. One is a generalization of the waveguide idea replacing unit delays by all-pass filters modeling the phase ...

The banded digital waveguide mesh

In this paper we propose a new technique to model complex resonators, which uses a combination of digital waveguides and waveguide meshes banded in frequency. An application for simulating a bowed cymbal is discussed.
