Peter J. Comerford · IEE Proceedings A Physical Science Measurement and Instrumentation Management and Education Reviews · 1981
The paper describes a microcomputer-controlled musical instrument simulator which is able, by digital means, to produce playable polyphonic simulations of a range of conventional instruments and to create new sounds and new instruments. The description is preceded by a discussion of attributes of the sounds of musical instruments and followed by examples of working simulations of a number of keyboard and orchestral instruments.
