Instrument Concept in ENP and Sound Synthesis Control

This paper gives a summary of our recent developments in applications dealing with sound synthesis control. This work is based on our previous work where the focus was to develop tools to control physical models of musical instruments. Here the starting point was a score that was translated into a sequence of control events. These were used to control a real-time implementation of an instrument model. Recently we have extended this approach so that it can be used to control new virtual instruments. We concentrate in this paper in describing the instrument definition of our system and how it is used to calculate control information for sound synthesis
