Abstract |
This paper introduces a physical modeling method for synthesizing
flageolet tones played on string instruments. Flageolet
tones are generated when a player gently damps the
vibrating string at a certain location, so that only those modes
that have a nodal point at the damping location remain ringing.
A physical model of the spatially damped string is implemented
using a wave digital resistor connected to a digital
waveguide string. Also, a commuted waveguide version
is derived and analyzed. The model is able to realistically
synthesize flageolet tones with both static and time-varying
damping parameters. Synthesis results are presented and analyzed.
