A Method for the Modification of Acoustic Instrument Tone Dynamics
نویسنده
چکیده
A method is described for making natural sounding modifications of the dynamic level of tones produced by acoustic instruments. Each tone is first analyzed in the frequency domain and divided into a harmonic and a noise component. The two components are modified separately using filters based on spectral envelopes extracted from recordings of isolated tones played at different dynamic levels. When transforming from low to high dynamics, additional high frequency partials are added to the spectrum to enhance the brightness of the sound. Finally, the two modified components are summed and a time domain signal is synthesized.

Acoustic Sensitivity of the Saccule and Daf Music
Introduction: The daf is a large Persian frame drum used as a musical instrument in both popular and classical music which can induce a percussive sound at low frequencies (146–290 Hz) with peaks of up to 130 dBspl. The percussive sounds have a power distribution in the region of saccular sensitivity. In view of the saccular stimulation by sound in humans, we decided to use cervical vestibu...

متن کاملSelective Tone Reservation method for PAPR reduction in SFBC-OFDM systems
The high Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) and MIMO-OFDM systems reduces the system efficiency. In this paper, an extension of Tone Reservation (TR) method is introduced for PAPR reduction in Space Frequency Block Coded OFDM (SFBC-OFDM) systems. The proposed algorithm is based on a time domain kernel which is added to the signal of the anten...
