Abstract |
A software synthesizer, also known as a softsynth or virtual instrument is a computer program for digital audio generation. Softsynths can be cheaper and more portable than dedicated hardware. In this paper we proposed a scheme in which a dedicated hardware musical keyboard is developed which sends only MIDI notes. A keyboard is interfaced to PC through USB.A synthesizing of musical notes is done by PC to produced sound. Synthesis is done by comparing different physical modeling technique. This is the low cost solution towards dedicated hardware synthesizers. The paper aims towards using existing use of processing power of PC with existing memory system to process MIDI notes to play different instruments through general purpose PC. Also it makes easy for keyboard player to play music with dedicated hardware keyboard. Associated with the electronic music movement, a synthesizer is an electronic instrument, sometimes accessed through a keyboard, that creates and combines waveforms used stored acoustic instrumental samples, called wavetable synthesis, or electronically, using FM synthesis.Synthesis is done by comparing different physical modeling technique. Proposed system aimed at developing a synthesizer system using computer devices where all the processing done by computer system. Main idea behind project is to avoid using readymade synthesizer IC and utilization of computer processing to get maximum computer power. The physical model is usually formulated as a partial differential equation resulting from a mechanical analysis. The resulting synthesis algorithms consist of a parallel arrangement of second order digital filters [2]. Their coefficients are obtained by analytic expressions directly from the parameters of the physical model. More elaborate computational models include nonlinearities and excitation mechanisms. The resulting algorithmically models are suitable for real-time implementation on modern desktop or laptop computers and mobile devices. Low-delay algorithms permit control from sequencer programs or haptic devices. A VST-plug-in demonstrates the capabilities for real-time synthesis and parametric control. |
