Abstract

See full text

A device for simulating a sound timbre, particularly for stringed electrical musical instruments, which comprises input elements for acquiring an electrical signal generated by a musical instrument, and filtering elements which operate on the electrical signal generated by a source musical instrument. The filtering elements apply to the electrical signal generated by the source musical instrument a transfer function obtained by correlating the sound profile of a target musical instrument to the sound profile of the source musical instrument, the sound profiles comprising respectively the average frequency spectrum of a range of notes played on the target musical instrument and the average frequency spectrum of a corresponding range of notes played on the source musical instrument. The sound profiles are defined on the basis of the electrical signals generated by the musical instruments, corresponding to the playing of at least one note per string.
