AB - Gu-Qin as a venerable Chinese plucked-string instrument has its unique performance techniques and enchanting sounds. It is on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. It is one of the oldest Chinese solo instruments. The variation of Gu-Qin sound is so large that carefullydesigned controls of its computer synthesizer are necessary. We developed a parametric source-filter model for re-synthesizing expressive Gu-Qin notes. It is capable to cover as many as possible combinations of Gu-Qin s performance techniques. In this paper, a brief discussion of Gu-Qin playing and its special tablature notation are made for understanding the relationship between its performance techniques and its sounds. This work includes a Gu-Qin s musical notation system and a source-filter model based synthesizer. In addition, we implement an iOS app to demonstrate its low computation complexity and robustness. It is easy to perform improvisation of the sounds because of its friendly user interfaces.
