Abstract

This paper presents a rolling sound synthesis model which can be intuitively controlled. For that purpose, different aspects of the rolling phenomenon are explored: physical modeling, perceptual studies and signal morphology. Based on these approaches, we propose a synthesis model that reproduces the main perceptual features responsible for the evocation of rolling action. Finally, a control strategy based on ball’s properties (perceived size, asymmetry, speed, trajectory) and the irregularity of the surface is proposed.
