Synthesizer models for emulating musical instruments are improved to take into account sympathetic string vibrations. One embodiment of the present invention scales an output signal from a sound synthesis model and uses the scaled signal as an input signal for a number of single-string emulations causing the single-string emulations to produce sound signals corresponding to sympathetic string vibrations. The output signals from the synthesis model and from all of the single-string emulations are added together. Another embodiment employs an octave's worth of single-string emulations to emulate the lower strings of an emulated instrument. Still another embodiment is a synthesizer which includes an input bus for accepting a sound signal, scaling means, a plurality of single-string emulations, and means for summing output signals from the string emulations. Embodiments preferably employ waveguide synthesis or the plucked string model to emulate single-strings. |
