Musical Applications of Banded Waveguides

(Essl et al. 2003), we intro-duced the theory of banded waveguides, showingthe advantages of this synthesis technique that al-lows efficient simulation of highly inharmonic vi-brating structures. In this article, we provide anoverview of different musical instruments thathave been modeled efficiently using banded wave-guides. Additional detail can be found in Cook(2002); Essl and Cook (1999); Essl and Cook (2000);Essl (2002); Kapur et al. (2002); Serafin et al. (2002);and Serafin, Wilkerson, and Smith (2002). Links tosoftware implementations of these models avail-able online can be found in the conclusion of thisarticle.First, we discuss a banded-waveguide model ofbar percussion instruments followed by a model ofa musical saw. Next, we show how to use bandedwaveguides to model bowed glasses and bowls, andwe conclude by presenting models of a Tabla and abowed cymbal.
