DISCRETE-TIME MODELING AND SYNTHESIS OF MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS
Matti Karjalainen · 2004
Physics-based modeling of sound sources, particularly of musical instruments, can be carried out in many forms. In this paper an overview is presented focusing on methods that are potential in real-time simulation and synthesis, in contrast to solving equations that characterize the behavior of the sound source under study. Modeling paradigms discussed here cover the digital waveguides (DWGs), finite difference time domain schemes (FDTDs), wave digital filters (WDFs), modal decomposition techniques, and source-filter models. The interrelations between these approaches are discussed and cases of applying them for real-time sound synthesis are presented. 1.
