Time-domain synthesis of conical bore instrument sounds

Overview

• Goal:
  • Efficient and robust time-domain synthesis of conical bore instrument sounds

• Modeling Method:
  • Digital waveguide synthesis
  • The ``reed'' function
  • Single conic section assumed to adequately approximate majority of modeled air column

• The Conical Waveguide:
  • Equivalent circuit
  • Properties of a conic frustum

• Model/Synthesis Approaches:
  • The ``cyclone''
  • Benade's ``cylindrical saxophone''
  • The virtual ``blowed string''
