“…The most successful practical approaches have been based on developing performance rules by an analysis by synthesis approach [34][35] and more recently machine learning techniques have been used for generating these performance rules automatically [36]. Another useful method is based on using music notation software which allows interactive playing and adjustment of the synthetic performance [37].…”

“…The initial pitch glides are synthesized by changing the pitch of the string with a break point function in the PWGLSynth system. 30 Alternatively, the synthesis could use the nonlinear approach proposed by Tolonen et al …”

This paper presents a model-based sound synthesis algorithm for the Chinese plucked string instrument called the guqin. The instrument is fretless, which enables smooth pitch glides from one note to another. A version of the digital waveguide synthesis approach is used, where the string length is time-varying and its energy is scaled properly. A body model filter is placed in cascade with the string model. Flageolet tones are synthesized with the so-called ripple filter structure, which is an FIR comb filter in the delay line of a digital waveguide model. In addition, signal analysis of recorded guqin tones is presented. Friction noise produced by gliding the finger across the soundboard has a harmonic structure and is proportional to the gliding speed. For pressed tones, one end of a vibrating string is terminated either by the nail of the thumb or a fingertip. The tones terminated with a fingertip decay faster than those terminated with a thumb. Guqin tones are slightly inharmonic and they exhibit phantom partials. The synthesis model takes into account these characteristic features of the instrument and is able to reproduce them. The synthesis model will be used for rule based synthesis of guqin music.
