Digital Sound Synthesis by Physical Modeling Using the Functional Transformation Method

This book considers signal processing and physical modeling meth­ ods for sound synthesis. Such methods are useful for example in mu­ sic synthesizers, computer sound cards, and computer games. Physical modeling synthesis has been commercialized for the first time about 10 years ago. Recently, it has been one of the most active research topics in musical acoustics and computer music. The authors of this book, Dr. Lutz Trautmann and Dr. Rudolf Rabenstein, are active researchers and inventors in t
