Virtual Instruments in Virtual ooms - A Real-Time Binaural Room Simulation Environment for Physical Models of Musical Instruments

Virtual Environment Simulation - Advances in the Diva Project

At ICAD'96, a real-time virtual audio reality model was presented, which included model-based sound synthesizers, geometric room acoustics modeling, binaural auralization for headphone and loudspeaker listening, and high-quality animation. The DIVA environment is an integrated implementation of a virtual reality system currently aiming at a virtual symphony orchestra performance. In the current...

Models of Musical Instruments in Real - Time Binaural Room Simulation

Physical modelling concepts for a collection of multisensory virtual musical instruments

This paper discusses how haptic devices and physical modelling can be employed to design and simulate multisensory virtual musical instruments, providing the musician with joint audio, visual and haptic feedback. After briefly reviewing some of the main use-cases of haptics in Computer Music, we present GENESIS-RT, a software and hardware platform dedicated to the design and real-time haptic pl...

The BRASS Project, from Physical Models to Virtual Musical Instruments: Playability Issues

The Brass project aims to deliver software virtual musical instruments (trumpet, trombone, tenor saxophone) based on physical modelling. This requires to work on some aspects of the playability of the models so that they can be played in real time through a simple keyboard : better control of the attacks, automatic tuning, humanization.

Virtual Acoustic Musical Instruments: Review and Update

This article gives an overview of selected developments in musical sound synthesis based on physical models of musical instruments—sometimes called “virtual acoustic” sound synthesis. Emphasis is placed on techniques which yield the highest playability and sound quality in real time at a reasonable computational expense.
