Augmenting sonic reality. Cyberinstruments designed with digital waveguides
Juraj Kojs, Stefania Serafin · Digital Creativity · 2008
This article discusses how cyberinstruments created with digital waveguides—a technique for physical modelling synthesis, enable the augmentation of musical reality. These facilitate efficient replication of musical instruments and allow the extension of the properties of the replicas beyond the limitations of the physical world. The article examines how different composers have manipulated cyberinstruments designed with waveguide synthesis to stretch the sonic identities of physical instruments.
