Score-Based control of Guqin synthesis

This paper summarizes our experiences with the control part of our guqin synthesizer. Guqin is an ancient Chinese seven-string instrument with a long history of written music repertoire. This project has dealt with both the notation part and synthesis part of the instrument. The notation part has focused on various enhancements that makes it possible to use our music notation package to represent and realize guqin tablature notation and idiomatic playing styles. The most important additions include a special Jian Zi Pu notation that allows to represent traditional guqin scores with expressions consisting of Latin characters, Score-BPF expressions for pitch control (both glides and vibrato), and macro note short-hands that are used to realize musical textures algorithmically. We also propose an improvement to the vibrato control by introducing an extra vibrato depth scaler that is linked directly to the glide gesture. This physically inspired scheme reflects the natural left hand constraints of a guqin player during fast glides.
