RECENT ADVANCES IN REAL-TIME BOWED STRING SYNTHESIS: EVALUATION OF THE MODELS
Stefania Serafin, Diana Young · VBN Forskningsportal (Aalborg Universitet) · 2007
Physical models of bowed string instruments have achieved a level of complexity which allows the real-time simulation of most of the phenomena that appear in real instruments. One of the open issues is how to validate the model, that is how to compare its behavior to that of a real instrument. In the past, different evaluation techniques of the playability of a bowed string physical models have been proposed [10]. However, these techniques focus on the acoustical behavior of the models, without taking into account the end user (either the player or the listener). In this paper, we propose an accurate yet efficient real-time bowed string physical model, and we describe different techniques to evaluate the model, from acoustical evaluation to usability in a performance context.
