Physical Modeling of Plucked String Instruments with Application to Real-Time Sound Synthesis*
نویسنده
چکیده
An efficient approach for real-time synthesis of plucked string instruments using physical modeling and DSP techniques is presented. Results of model-based resynthesis are illustrated to demonstrate that high-quality synthetic sounds of several string instruments can be generated using the proposed modeling principles. Real-time implementation using a signal processor is described, and several aspects of controlling physical models of plucked string instruments are studied.

Towards High-Quality Sound Synthesis of the Guitar and String Instruments
The sound quality of real-time synthesis based on physical models has so far been inferior to sampling techniques. In this paper we introduce new principles to make model-based sound synthesis of the guitar and other plucked string instruments more attractive from the viewpoint of sound quality. A major improvement is achieved by estimating the model parameters and the excitation signal from th...
متن کاملA class of physical modeling recurrent networks for analysis/synthesis of plucked string instruments
A new approach is proposed that closely synthesizes tones of plucked string instruments by using a class of physical modeling recurrent networks. The strategies employed consist of a fast training algorithm and a multistage training procedure that are able to obtain the synthesis parameters for a specific instrument automatically. The training vector can be recorded tones of most target plucked...

In this paper, a novel research tool, which allows real-time implementation and evaluation of sound synthesis of musical instrument, is described. The tool is a PC-based application and allows the user to evaluate the effects of parameter changes on the sound quality in an intuitive manner. Tuning makes use of a Genetic Algorithm (GA) technique. Flute and plucked string modeling examples are us...
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 کاملNew techniques and effects in model-based sound synthesis
Physical modeling and model-based sound synthesis have recently been among the most active topics of computer music and audio research. In the modeling approach one typically tries to simulate and duplicate the most prominent sound generation properties of the acoustic musical instrument under study. If desired, the models developed may then be modified in order to create sounds that are not co...
