ART-Description

Development of a flexible and growing software library for the simulation of fairly general topologies of acoustical ducts including non-linear feedback loops as used to model sound generation in musical instruments.

Follow the links below to obtain detailed information about specific project topics. Please share your views as well as perhaps some code fragments with the ART community.

Topics:

  • Download

  • Click here to find the download links.

  • Authors

  • Researchers contributing to the project.

  • Abstract

  • Read the abstract to get an overview about the goals of the ART project. The powerpoint presentation at the bottom of this page might also illustrate the key concepts of this work.

  • Current Status

  • Read this to learn about what is already implemented and useful.

  • Application interface

  • Read about the application interface if you are interested in how this library might be used by future application programs. You will even find fictive sample programs illustrating how applications could perform some common simulation tasks by means of the ART library.

  • Principles of operation

  • If you consider taking part in the development of this software library you may want to understand the principles of operation.

  • Wave objects

  • You will have to read about the generalisation of waves represented by wave objects to understand how frequency domain simulation and time domain simulation are related and how pretty much different modelling paradigms could be combined and interfaced.

  • Developer interface

  • The developer interface is important for those who want to contribute modelling elements to this library. Of course there will be proper credit to all of you who are sharing their computer models with our community. Authorship of specific models will be shown to the users of future application software, in order to enable them to properly quote the models they are using in their own scientific publications.

  • Your feedback

  • Use the feedback link to post your critical ideas, comments, acclamations, initiatives or contributions. Any feedback is warmly appreciated.
