Abstract:

From a violin's dynamic activity to its perceived quality as seen through the eyes of the player: sound and vibration sensations are received through the auditory and haptic modalities, respectively; an aesthetic-evaluative component also adds to the entire sensory experience. The sound of a violin section playing in unison differs significantly from that of a single violin. Even when compared with a low-fidelity monaural sound reproduction system, this holds true. Summing numerous slightly detuned solo waveforms or putting together many clones of the solo waveform with a continually variable random time delay are two ways that electronic instruments try to imitate this ensemble sound. The findings show that perceived roughness may be multi-dimensional, with abnormalities in string oscillation influencing both sound creation processes and psychoacoustic roughness perception principles. The resulting perception space comprised four dimensions, and in each sector of the space, the same number of roughness kinds could be recognized. The results will be shown in 3D graphics as well as documentation of string movement.
