Description

A simple model (based on Karplus-Strong algorithm) may be used to model a plucked string instrument like a guitar. The input-output relationship of the causal LTI system is given by:
y (n) = x(n) + © * [ y (n-N) + y (n – (N+1))]

where
x(n) is a zero mean random variable, uniformly distributed between -1 and 1
y(n) is the output
© is a real-valued constant, whose typical value is 0.5 (experiment with other values and comment)
N controls the pitch of the note; N = floor ( Fs / Fp), where Fs is the sampling frequency in Hz, and Fp is the pitch of the note in Hz. For example, at 8 kHz sampling frequency, N = 20 implies a pitch frequency of 400 Hz.

Using Matlab code:
1. Write a function to generate the output y(n), given © , N and a desired number of output samples. A typical function call may look like, function KS (alpha, N, output_samples).
2. Use the function call to generate a note with a desired pitch frequency.
3. String a sequence of such notes to generate a chord of music. (You don’t have to be a musician, and any sequence of notes is acceptable for the project, but possibly not in real life!)
4. Plot the output, and play out the composed music piece.

Helpful Hints: An 8 kHz sampling frequency is a reasonable choice. You may want to use the standard musical C major scale. The C major scale, covering one octave, is given by the notes {C CS D DS E F FS G GS A AS B}, where CS, DS, FS, GS and AS stand for C-sharp etc. The reference pitch is the note “A above middle C,” and equals 440 Hz. The successive notes differ by a factor of 2^ (1/12). For example, the note C has the pitch of [440*2^ (-9/12)] Hz, and the note B has the pitch of [440*2^ (2/12)] Hz.
