Sound generating system producing sound from vibrations in musical instrument through natural microphone simulation

摘要

A sound generating system produces tones from an audio signal as if tones originally produced from an acoustic guitar are converted to an electric signal through a microphone; the electric signal is produced from vibrations of the strings through a pickup unit, and is converted to digital signals; a digital signal processor simulates reverberation generated through a resonator of the guitar and direct tones directly produced from the strings through plural sorts of digital data processing; the signal component representative of the reverberation is added to the signal component representative of the direct tones for producing the audio signal; the digital signal processor simulates the direct tones through the function of an all-pass filter so that the reproduced sound has the timbre approximate to the timbre of the original tones.
