Piano Synthesis and Sustain Pedal Simulation Based on Digital Waveguide

Abstract

The technique of pedal pedaling is essential in piano performance The pedal will directly affect the piano sound and make the piano sound more productive When the pedal is depressed all the dampers on the strings are lifted all the strings can vibrate freely and the strings are coupled with each other to transfer energy to each other In addition to prolonging the playing time it also causes different tone decay modes In this article we will use digital waveguide to achieve piano synthesis and use string coupling to simulate the pedal pedaling effect It also proposes a synthesis method that is finally applied to the VST Plugin to produce a digital piano kit This kit allows users to adjust the correlation coefficients to produce customized piano sounds
