In previous papers [1], [2] we introduced a model for pseudo-periodic sounds based on Wornell results [3] concerning the synthesis of 1/f noise by means of the Wavelet transform (WT). This method provided a good model for representing not only the harmonic part of reallife sounds but also the stochastic components. The latter are of fundamental importance from a perceptual point of view since they contain all the information related to the natural dynamic of musical timbres. In this paper we introduce a refinement of the method, making the spectralmodel technique more flexible and the resynthesis coefficient model more accurate. In this way we obtain a powerful tool for sound processing and cross-synthesis.
