Abstract

An excitation/filter system of Inharmonic sound synthesis signal is presented with an application to piano, a stiff string instrument. Specific features of the piano string important in wave propagation, dispersion due to stiffness, frequency dependent losses and presence of phantom partials are included in the proposed model. The modified narrow bandpass filter is used as a basic building block in modeling the vibrating structure. The parallel bank of narrow band pass filters is used to model the dispersion. The center frequencies of narrow bandpass filters can be tuned to follow the same relation as the partial frequencies of piano tone. Novel loss filter is designed to implement frequency dependent losses. The resulting model is called as Inharmonic Dispersion Tunable Comb filter.
