Acoustical analysis of woodwind musical instruments for virtual instrument implementation by physical modeling
Panagiotis Tzevelekos, Γεώργιος Κουρουπέτρογλου · 2004
In the present paper, we present the development of a framework of methodologies, which allow the creation of acoustic analysis, by woodwind musical instrument recordings corpora, as well as the implementation of virtual instruments, by physical modeling. We emphasize on traditional instruments, starting with the zournas. By analysis, acoustical aspects of the instrument are derived (attack-release time, spectral harmonic distribution, pitch and intensity contours et.c.). Moreover, in conjunction with measurements by a laryngograph, features of the player’s performance style are recovered. The parameters extracted are necessary for developing virtual instruments by physical modeling. To be more precise, digital waveguide models will be used to simulate the sound wave propagation in the instrument.
