Abstract
The Functional Transformation Method (FTM) is a recently introduced method for sound synthesis by physical modeling. Based on integral transformations, it provides a parallel system description for any linear physical model, usually described by a set of partial differential equations. Such parallel descriptions can be directly implemented by a set of recursive systems in full rate. In this paper we present a new and very efficient method for this implementation which benefits from the spectral decomposition of the system. All recursive systems are working at a subsampled rate and are summed up by the application of a polyphase filterbank. Performance measurements on a real time implementation show, that a flexible and efficient realization is achieved. Compared to the direct implementation it is over nine times faster at the cost of nine milliseconds of delay and even faster with more delay.
