Physical modelling concepts for a collection of multisensory virtual musical instruments
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 playing of virtual musical instruments using mass-interaction physical modelling. We discuss our approach and report on advancements in modelling various instrument categories, including physical models of percussion, plucked and bowed instruments. Finally, we comment on the constraints, challenges and new possibilities opened by modelling haptic virtual instruments with our platform, and discuss common points and differences in regards to classical Digital Musical Instruments.

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.
متن کاملInteractive Physical Design and Haptic Playing of Virtual Musical Instruments
In Computer Music, a practical approach of many Digital Musical Instruments is to separate the gestural input stage from the sound synthesis stage. While these instruments offer many creative possibilities, they present a strong rupture with traditional acoustic instruments, as the physical coupling between human and sound is broken. This coupling plays a crucial role for the expressive musical...
متن کاملMotor imagery: what does it offer for new digital musical instruments?
There have been more interest and research towards multisensory aspects of sound as well as vision and movement, especially in the last two decades. An emerging research field related with multisensory research is 'motor imagery', which could be defined as the mental representation of a movement without actual production of muscle activity necessary for its execution. Emphasizing its close rela...
متن کاملGesture-tactile Controlled Physical Modelling Music Synthesis
Despite enjoying the resulting freedom from physical constraints that can result from the incorporation of computer technology in electronic musical instruments as musicians are enabled to push back the creative boundaries within which they work, musicians are still searching for virtual instruments that come closer to their physical counterparts in terms of their playing experience. This paper...
