Download Harpsichord Sound Synthesis using a Physical Plectrum Model Interfaced with the Digital Waveguide In this paper, we present a revised model of the plectrum-string interaction and its interface with the digital waveguide for simulation of the harpsichord sound. We will first revisit the plectrum body model that we have proposed previously in [1] and then extend the model to incorporate the geometry of the plectrum tip. This permits us to model the dynamics of the string slipping off the plectrum more comprehensively, which provides more physically accurate excitation signals. Simulation results are presented and discussed.
