Report on the Results of Joint Research on Magnetic Pickups
Takuto Yudasaka of the Research & Development Division presented a report on joint research with the Computational Acoustic Modeling Laboratory (CAML) of McGill University at the 186th Meeting of Acoustical Society of America held at the Shaw Centre (Ottawa, Ontario, Canada).
He clarified the relationship between the magnetic force and timbre of the magnetic pickups on an electric guitar in this presentation.This report is a result of the joint research about physical simulation models of musical instruments between CAML of McGill University and Yamaha.
・Title of presentation : Influences of electric guitar pickup magnetic force on string vibrations
・Outline of presentation : The magnetic pickups on an electric guitar have a significant impact on the timbre of the musical instrument. In particular, the magnetic force of the pickups affects the vibration of the strings and causes a beating. This is a report on the results of experiments and simulation regarding this behavior.
An article on this report is available on the website of the Acoustical Society of America.
