Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 工學院聲音與音樂創意科技碩士學位學程 === 101 === In this thesis, the computational sound synthesis models of the ancient Chinese Chime-bells have been presented. The Chinese Chime-bell (also known as Chinese two tone bells) is one of the greatest inventions throughout the Chinese history for having various fascinating acoustical properties such as being able to produce two tones on one single bell. To further understand the acoustical properties, the sounds from a replicated Chime-bell set of Marquis Yi of Zeng had been sampled and analyzed. The pitch discrimination between the original set and this replica has been evaluated. Two models based on the acoustical features of the Chime-bells have been proposed to synthesize the bell sounds. The concept of the inharmonic digital waveguides has been adopted for the implementation of the models. The results show that Chime-bell like sounds could be successfully synthesized. More efforts will be put on real-time implementation and qualitative sound generation in the future.
