Generating Models for Modal Synthesis

Abstract

Physical Modeling of Musical Instruments 2International audienceThe goal of the work described here is to create synthesized musical sounds while simultaneously restoring the various auditory and sensorimotor aspects of instrumental performance to the user. To meet these demands, we have been led to sound synthesis by physical modeling. Given the neutrality of the computer and the universality of the laws of physics, it is feasible to think in terms of a certain universality of the tool that goes beyond any reference to a specific idiom or context
