Rabenstein Multimedia Communications and Signal Processing University of Erlangen-Nuremberg Cauerstrasse 7 91058 Erlangen Germany Email rabe@ Received 30 June 2003 Revised 14 November 2003 The functional transformation method FTM is a well-established mathematical method for accurate simulations of multidimensional physical systems from various fields of science including optics heat and mass transfer electrical engineering and acoustics. This paper applies the FTM to real-time simulations of transversal vibrating strings. First a physical model of a transversal vibrating lossy and dispersive string is derived. Afterwards this model is solved with the FTM for two cases the ideally linearly vibrating string and the string interacting nonlinearly with the frets. It is shown that accurate and stable simulations can be achieved with the discretization of the continuous solution at audio rate. Both simulations can also be performed with a multirate approach with only minor degradations of the simulation accuracy but with preservation of stability. This saves almost 80 of the computational cost for the simulation of a six-string guitar and therefore it is in the range of the computational cost for digital waveguide simulations.
