Abstract

We report on our research concerning the calibration of physical models for sound synthesis. We combine waveguide physical modeling synthesis with formant filtering, by dividing the nonlinear description of the reed mechanism into a nonlinear part and an input-dependent linear filter. We elaborate on the calibration of the model and assess its performance by comparing it to a single-reed, cylindrical bore instrument, the clarinet.
