Extraction of Physical and Expressive Parameters for Model-Based Sound Synthesis of the Classical Guitar

The calibration of model parameters is a crucial subproblem for realistic model-based sound synthesis. This paper describes the revision of the calibration process of a classical guitar model, and extends the parameter extraction procedure to capture information about performance characteristics, such as the damping regimes, repeated plucks, vibrato characteristics, different pluck styles and dynamic variations.
