Influence of attack parameters on the playability of a virtual bowed string instrument: tuning the model

چکیده
In this paper, we test the hypothesis proposed in a companion paper submitted to this conference (see [SS00]), namely that the playability of a bow stroke can be fully described by three parameters bow velocity, bow position and bow force. Moreover, the envelope of these parameters influences the quality of the attack. In this paper, we present a novel technique for measuring parameters of bowing. By coupling a haptic display to a computational model of a bowed string, we simulate the normal and frictional forces present during bow-string interaction.

Influence of Attack Parameters on the Playability of a Virtual Bowed String Instrument
The transient behavior of a virtual bowed string is measured under different conditions of bow-force and bowvelocity onset. The results are compared with the constant-force, constant-velocity case, and with published physical measurements made using a bowing machine. Issues related to “playability” of virtual bowed-string instruments are discussed.
متن کاملPlayability Evaluation of a Virtual Bowed String Instrument
Driving a bowed string physical model using a bow controller, we explore the potentials of using the real gestures of a violinist to simulate violin sound using a virtual instrument. After a description of the software and hardware developed, preliminary results and future work are discussed.
متن کاملAn Investigation of the Impact of Torsion Waves and Friction Characteristics on the Playability of Virtual Bowed Strings
Playability” is measured for variations in a bowed-string simulation model. The variations studied are (1) the effect of torsion waves, and (2) the effect of the choice of friction model. It is found that (1) elimination of torsion-wave simulation does not degrade playability, and (2) the more recently developed “plastic” bowedstring friction model, in which the frictional force is a function o...
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 کاملData driven identification and computer animation of bowed string model
The goal of this paper is to provide a technique to estimate the input parameters for a waveguide physical model. This work is motivated by the fact that the input parameters strongly influence the quality of the synthetic sound produced by the model. Though we examine the case of a bowed string instrument, this technique can be used to estimate parameters of other self-sustained oscillators. W...
