Parameter Estimation of a Plucked String Synthesis Model Using a Genetic Algorithm with Perceptual Fitness Calculation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a technique for estimating control parameters for a plucked string synthesis model using a genetic algorithm. The model has been intensively used for sound synthesis of various string instruments but the fine tuning of the parameters has been carried out with a semiautomatic method that requires some hand adjustment with human listening. An automated method for extracting the parameters from recorded tones is described in this paper. The calculation of the fitness function utilizes knowledge of the properties of human hearing.

Perceptual Study of Decay Parameters in Plucked String Synthesis
A listening experiment was conducted to study the audibility of variation of decay parameters in plucked string synthesis. A digital commuted-waveguide-synthesis model was used to generate the test sounds. The decay of each tone was parameterized with an overall and a frequency-dependent decay parameter. Two different fundamental frequencies, tone durations, and types of excitation signals were...
متن کاملMultirate Extensions for Model-Based Synthesis of Plucked String Instruments
We describe new developments for model-based sound synthesis of plucked string instruments. The synthesis model is based on the extended Karplus–Strong algorithm. A new implementation approach where part of the excitation signal is modeled with interpolated low-frequency resonators and the decay part of the tones using a multirate string model is introduced. The resonators allow for a full para...
متن کاملObject-based Sound Source Modeling
This thesis proposes techniques for object-based audio and music. The work can be divided into two parts corresponding to model-based synthesis of musical instruments and computational analysis of audio and music. The contributions of this work are in signal and auditory analysis, sound object modeling, and sound signal synthesis. The rst half of the thesis considers linear and particularly non...
متن کاملNonlinear Modeling and Synthesis of the Kantele - a Traditional Finnish String Instrument
We apply a recently developed nonlinear string synthesis algorithm to modeling and synthesis of the kantele, which is a plucked string instrument used in traditional Finnish music for the past few thousand years. The new model combines formerly proposed linear plucked-string models with recent nonlinear extensions. As a result, a dual-polarization nonlinear model is obtained where the differenc...
متن کاملانتخاب کوچکترین ابر رشته در DNA با استفاده از الگوریتم ازدحام ذرّات
A DNA string can be supposed a very long string on alphabet with 4 letters. Numerous scientists attempt in decoding of this string. since this string is very long , a shorter section of it that have overlapping on each other will be decoded .There is no information for the right position of these sections on main DNA string. It seems that the shortest string (substring of the main DNA string) i...
