Full of maths, differential equations and so on. And some audio samples were provided. It sounded nice. The guy is GrÃgoire Derveaux. The PhD is at: http://www-rocq.inria.fr/macs/spip.php?article102 It's in french but there is: http://www-rocq.inria.fr/macs/spip.php?article81 It is not realtime as far as I know. There is also the work at CCRMA on Digital Waveguide Synthesis: https://ccrma.stanford.edu/~jos/pasp/Digital_Waveguide_Bowed_String.html https://ccrma.stanford.edu/~jos/pasp/Sound_Examples.html So maybe there is room for some more or less nice artificial sound of bowed instruments. Obviously the poor controls I think about are not sufficient to have a 100% realistic sound and yes, play a real cello would be ideal. But I feel in the mood to hack a bit with this little camera and I want kind of cello sound for some music I have in the head. :-) _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
