Inharmonicity of wound guitar strings

Importance of inharmonicity in the acoustic Guitar

Audibility of inharmonicity in realistic acoustic guitar tones was studied through formal listening experiments. Test tones were synthesized using an FZ-ARMA model of acoustic guitar sounds, which allows accurate control of the inharmonic partials. Inharmonicity was detected fairly easily for the lowest strings if the plucking transient was left out of the sound, but much harder for the full so...

Bandwidth of perceived inharmonicity for physical modeling of dispersive strings

597 be more useful because of the smaller amount of data available per class when there are multiple classes. The problem of channel compensation, particularly in the model space, can be viewed as a special case of the more general problem of adaptation. Indeed, the ML feature-space method described here is similar to techniques used for speaker adaptation. For word recognition applications whe...

Perturbative Dynamics of Fractional Strings on Multiply Wound D-strings

Fractional strings in the spectrum of states of open strings attached to a multiply wound D-brane is explained. We first describe the fractional string states in the low-energy effective theory where the topology of multiple winding is encoded in the gauge holonomy. The holonomy induces twisted boundary conditions responsible for the fractional moding of these states. We also describe fractiona...

Towards a Dynamic Model of the Palm Mute Guitar Technique Based on Capturing Pressure Profiles Between the Guitar Strings

Electric guitar is one of the most emblematic musical instruments. It benefits from a large community that constantly extends its frontiers by innovating playing technique and adding control surfaces. This work focuses on palm muting, one of the most known electric guitar techniques. This technique is produced when the palm of the picking hand is used to damp the strings and this can have a str...
