Gestural Control of a Real-Time Physical Model of a Bowed String Instrument
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we discuss the real-time simulation of a physical model of a bowed string instrument by means of alternative gestural controllers. We focus on the model's behaviour when submitted to di erent bow strokes performed on a graphical tablet using di erent types transducers. The tablet was chosen because it allows a performer to reproduce most of the basic physical gestures of bow strokes in a natural way.

Expressive Controllers for Bowed String Physical Models
In this paper we propose different approaches to control a real-time physical model of a bowed string instrument. Starting from a commercially available device, we show how to improve the gestural control of the model.
متن کاملA Player Model for Midi Control of Synthetic Bowed Strings
As the underlying physical processes of bowed string instruments have been investigated extensively and are understood well, it becomes clear that the instrument model on its own is not sufficient for realistic synthesis of bowed strings. Controlling the parameters for the excitation of the string model is comparable to playing the real instrument, and the design of algorithms controlling the a...
متن کاملAn alternative controller for a virtual bowed string instrument
One of the principal interests in building a virtual instrument model that works in real-time is the possibility of having interactive control of all its parameters. This means that the performer receives immediate audible feedback from his instrument so he can easily adjust and modify the sound produced while he is playing. This interactivity makes sense only if one is provided with a tool pow...
متن کاملReal Time Extended Physical Models for the Composer and Performer
In this paper we describe compositional and performancerelated issues for exploring extended techniques of a bowed string physical model. First, an extended waveguide physical model of a bowed string instrument was created. To explore new techniques for the physical model we perform it with the metasaxophone, a tenor saxophone retrofitted with an array of sensors tracking continuously changing ...
متن کاملPlayability Evaluation of a Virtual Bowed String Instrument
Driving a bowed string physical model using a bow controller, we explore the potentials of using the real gestures of a violinist to simulate violin sound using a virtual instrument. After a description of the software and hardware developed, preliminary results and future work are discussed.
