Instrument timbre models with noisy partial inclusion

Abstract

This paper presents the results of work performed in the area of analysis, manipulation and re-synthesis of musical instrument sounds. The goal is an efficient method of musical instrument sound modelling. Building on work previously carried out on analysis/resynthesis methods, in addition to phase vocoding methods, the work here presented proffers an alternative method of harmonic partial analysis and filtration. A new technique for sound model generation is presented and results from preliminary testing are discussed.
