Toward the automatic synthesis of nonlinear wave digital models for musical acoustics

In this paper we propose and describe the principles behind our approach to sound synthesis through nonlinear wave digital modeling. The method is general enough to include a wide variety of nonlinearities that cannot be modeled through classical WDF principles. We also present an automatic synthesis method that, starting from a semantic description of the physical model, generates, validates and initializes an appropriate simulation source code with time-varying parameters.
