Interpretation of Violin Spectrum Using Psychoacoustic Experiments
Jan Štěpánek, Zdeněk Otčenášek · 2004
Couple of psychoacoustic experiments with violin tones of several pitches led to the extraction of timbral attributes such as Sharpness, Darkness, Narrowness, Rustleness, Glossiness and Buzzing. The hypotheses about their spectral sources were formulated and verified in subsequent listening tests. The frequency position, level and pitch dependence and mutual connections of these spectral sources are discussed.
