Abstract:
A device ( 10 ) for simulating a sound timbre, particularly for stringed electrical musical instruments, which comprises means ( 20, 25 ) for acquiring an input electrical signal generated by the vibrations of the strings of a musical instrument ( 12, 13, 14, 15 ), and filtering means ( 50 ) which operate on the electrical signal generated by a source musical instrument ( 15 ). The filtering means ( 50 ) apply to the electrical signal generated by the source musical instrument ( 15 ) a transfer function obtained by correlating the sound profile ( 42, 43, 44 ) of a target musical instrument ( 12, 13, 14 ) to the sound profile ( 45 ) of the source musical instrument ( 15 ), the sound profiles ( 42, 43, 44, 45 ) comprising respectively the average frequency spectrum of a range of notes played on the target musical instrument ( 12, 13, 14 ) and the average frequency spectrum of a corresponding range of notes played on the source musical instrument ( 15 ), and the sound profiles ( 42, 43, 44, 45 ) being defined on the basis of the electrical signals generated by the musical instruments ( 12, 13, 14, 15 ), corresponding to the playing of at least one note per string, covering at least one tenth of the range of extension of the musical instruments ( 12, 13, 14, 15 ).

Claim (Index 2):
The device for simulating a sound timbre according to  claim 1 , wherein the device further comprises accessory functionalities in the form of one or more of simulation of amplification combined with saturation, delay or reverb effects; tuning functions; pitch shifting.
