| Excitation | Model Output | Description |
 |
Various plucking and scraping sounds demonstrate the wide variety of excitations that can be measured with an accurate multi-axis pickup. | |
|
|
The first three plucks are measured with a 1-dimensional pickup, and the second set of three plucks consist of randomized, synthesized noise. The synthesized plucks sound more mechanical. |
|
|
The first four plucks are measured with a 2-dimensional pickup, and the following three plucks consist of randomized, synthesized noise. The synthesized plucks sound more mechanical. |
|
|
Bowing sounds quite realistic even though the excitation string segment is not oscillating at the same frequency as the digital waveguide model is tuned. |
|
|
In chronological order, we compare the sound of plucking, picking with plastic, picking with a nickel coin, and a pick scrape with the coin. |
|
A brief melody is played. |
