A Bowed String Physical Model Including Finite-Width Thermal Friction and Hair Dynamics
نویسندگان
چکیده
In light of the promising results obtained by driving a lowcomplexity digital waveguide (DW) violin model with synthetic bowing gestures , we currently explore the possibilities of combining DW and finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) frameworks to construct refined, yet efficient physical models of string quartet instruments. We extend previous approaches by combining a finite-width bow-string interaction model with a dynamic friction model based on simulating heat diffusion along the width of the bow. Bow hair dynamics are incorporated in the bow-string interaction, which includes two transversal string polarizations. The bridge termination is realized using an efficient, passive digital reflectance matrix obtained from fitting admittance measurements. In this paper we present and discuss the current status and future directions of our modeling work.

In this paper we propose an efficient method to model the amount of bow hair in contact with the string in a physical model of a bowed string instrument.
متن کاملToward a generalized friction controller: from the bowed string to unusual musical instruments
We present case studies of unusual instruments that share the same excitation mechanism as that of the bowed string. The musical saw, Tibetan singing bow, glass harmonica, and bowed cymbal all produce sound by rubbing a hard object on the surface of the instrument. For each, we discuss the design of its physical model and present a means for expressively controlling it. Finally, we propose a ne...
متن کاملNonlinear Commuted Synthesis of Bowed Strings
A commuted-synthesis model for bowed strings is driven by a separate nonlinear model of bowed-string dynamics. This gives the desirable combination of a full range of complex bow-string interaction behavior together with an efficiently implemented body resonator. A “single-hair bow” may control a pulsed-noise version which provide the effects of multiple bow hairs. The pulsed noise may also inc...
متن کاملA Player Model for Midi Control of Synthetic Bowed Strings
As the underlying physical processes of bowed string instruments have been investigated extensively and are understood well, it becomes clear that the instrument model on its own is not sufficient for realistic synthesis of bowed strings. Controlling the parameters for the excitation of the string model is comparable to playing the real instrument, and the design of algorithms controlling the a...
متن کاملViolin bow vibrations.
The modal frequencies and bending mode shapes of a freely supported tapered violin bow are investigated by finite element analysis and direct measurement, with and without tensioned bow hair. Such computations are used with analytic models to model the admittance presented to the stretched bow hairs at the ends of the bow and to the string at the point of contact with the bow. Finite element co...
