The Vbow: Two Versions of a Virtual Violin Bow Controller

نویسنده

  • Charles Nichols
چکیده

The vBow is a haptic musical controller human-computer interface, which simulates the forcefeedback of a bow on a violin string, while driving a bowed-string physical model. It is both a musical instrument for expressing the musical gestures of a performer, and a tool for testing friction and vibration models, and the responsiveness of physical model sound synthesis.

The vBow: Development of a Virtual Violin Bow Controller Haptic Human-Computer Interface

This paper describes the development of a virtual violin bow haptic human-computer interface, which senses bow position with encoders, to drive bowed-string physical model synthesis, while engaging servomotors, to simulate the haptic feedback of a violin bow on a string. Construction of the hardware and programming of the software are discussed, as well as the motivation for building the instru...

The vBow: A Haptic Musical Controller Human-Computer Interface

The vBow senses the violinist's bow stroke through the encoder of a servo driven by a cable, which is wrapped around a capstan attached to the shaft of the motor, and secured to either end of the virtual bow. The servo engages the bow, simulating friction and vibration of the string on the bow, according to the velocity of the performer's stroke. The result is a musical controller capable of si...

The vBow: A Four Degrees of Freedom Haptic Musical Controller Human-Computer Interface

This latest version of the vBow adds three degrees of freedom to the previous design, allowing for rotational motion across, vertical motion above, and longitudinal motion along the virtual strings, in addition to the original lateral motion of the bow stroke. Like the previous design, this version of the vBow uses servomotors with encoders and cable systems, to sense bow position and provide h...

Physical Modeling meets Machine Learning: Teaching Bow Control to a Virtual Violinist

The control of musical instrument physical models is difficult; it takes many years for professional musicians to learn their craft. We perform intelligent control of a violin physical model by analyzing the audio output and adjusting the physical inputs to the system using trained Support Vector Machines (SVM). Vivi, the virtual violinist is a computer program which can perform music notation ...
