2. Violin acoustics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violin_acoustics

   A sharp resonance response from the body of a cello (and occasionally a viola or a violin) produces a wolf tone, an unsatisfactory sound that repeatedly appears and disappears. A correctly positioned suppressor can remove the tone by reducing the resonance at that frequency, without dampening the sound of the instrument at other frequencies. [69]

3. Violin technique - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violin_technique

   Attaching a small rubber, wooden, or metal device called a "mute" to the bridge of the violin alters the tone, softening the instrument's sound by adding mass to the bridge and therefore reducing its ability to vibrate freely, decreasing volume and giving a more mellow tone, with fewer audible overtones. In performances, it may give a desired ...

4. Envelope (music) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Envelope_(music)

   The envelope generator became a standard feature of synthesizers. [ 1 ] Following discussions with the engineer and composer Vladimir Ussachevsky , the head of the Columbia-Princeton Electronic Music Center , in 1965, Moog developed a new envelope module whose functions were described in f T1 (attack time), T2 (initial decay time), ESUS ...

5. Sound post - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_post

   Sound post setting tool. The position of the sound post inside a violin is critical, and moving it by very small amounts (as little as 0.5mm or 0.25mm, or less) can make a big difference in the sound quality and loudness of an instrument. Specialized tools for standing up or moving a sound post are commercially available.

6. Yamaha XG - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamaha_XG

   Coupled with their tone generator, these devices included an onboard 4 MB sound bank chip of sampled instruments and became highly desirable among MIDI fans due to their crisp, high-quality sounds similar to the newer models of Roland Sound Canvas [citation needed]. These devices feature an effects processing system with individual stereo ...

7. Violin construction and mechanics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violin_construction_and...

   A violin consists of a body or corpus, a neck, a finger board, a bridge, a soundpost, four strings, and various fittings.The fittings are the tuning pegs, tailpiece and tailgut, endpin, possibly one or more fine tuners on the tailpiece, and in the modern style of playing, usually a chinrest, either attached with the cup directly over the tailpiece or to the left of it.

8. Additive synthesis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Additive_synthesis

   Time-varying formant frequencies and amplitudes derived by linear predictive coding were synthesized additively as pure tone whistles. This method is called sinewave synthesis . [ 32 ] [ 33 ] Also the composite sinusoidal modeling (CSM) [ 34 ] [ 35 ] used on a singing speech synthesis feature on Yamaha CX5M (1984), is known to use a similar ...

9. Chorus (audio effect) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chorus_(audio_effect)

   The effect can make these acoustic instruments sound fuller and louder than by using a single tone generator (b.e.: a single vibrating string or a reed). Some examples: Piano – Each of the hammers strikes a course of multiple strings tuned to nearly the same pitch (for all notes except the bass notes). Professional piano tuners carefully ...
