- Input and output locations must be known and fixed
- The
th mode of the system is simulated in isolation
Notes:
- the input gain
specifies how
the input signal
excites mode
- the output state-gain-vector
specifies how
all the modes add up (weighted) to form the output
- The mode-input gain vector
changes if the physical input is moved
-
changes if the physical output is moved
- The system modes do not change when the input
or output are moved
- Dispersion modeling (mode tuning) is much easier than in
a finite difference approximation
- Frequency-dependent damping is also much easier
- Extends to higher order models (time and/or space)
- Extends simply to spatially varying media
(not Fourier based)
- Can also be used for implicit finite difference schemes
- Relatively efficient when modes are inharmonic
(bells, gongs, mallet percussion)
- When mode frequencies are nearly harmonic
(strings, woodwinds, brasses)
digital waveguide models are more efficient
(we'll take them up later).
