Abstract

This paper describes an acoustic analysis of a Jing, Korean percussion instrument, according to different drive point and blow strength, and this analysis is focused on the softening and beat phenomena. Three kinds of blow strength (very strong, strong, and weak) and three locations of drive point (center, up, and right) are applied, and the spectrogram function built in Matlab is utilized to analyzing the softening and beat of target sounds. The stronger blow you drive to the center of the Jing, the more clearly softening is observed. Frequency shifting is increased proportionally to the blow strength and frequency and it is stand out on the harmonics in contrast with that of other partials. Beat of the Jing can be classified into the early beat and late beat. The beats by the outside driven Jing are distributed in wider frequency band than the beats by the center driven Jing. In addition, it is observed that the early beat is affected by few specific partials developed around harmonics for the center driven Jing.

본 논문은 다양한 타격 강도와 위치에 따른 징의 음향 차이를 소프닝과 맥놀이 분석을 통해 살펴본다. 타격 강도는 아주 강하게, 강하게, 약하게로 구분하였고 타격 위치는 가운데, 위, 오른쪽으로 구분하였으며 분석에는 스펙트로그램을 사용하였다. 소프닝은 징의 가운데를 강하게 타격할수록 명확하게 관측되었고 주파수 이동 폭은 타격 강도와 주파수에 비례하였다. 이러한 현상은 배음에서 두드러졌으며 다른 부분음에서는 불규칙적으로 발생하였다. 맥놀이는 초기 맥놀이와 후기 맥놀이로 분류할 수 있었으며 가운데를 타격할 때보다 측면을 타격할 때 더 넓은 주파수 대역에서 더 많은 맥놀이가 발생한다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 가운데를 타격한 경우 초기 맥놀이에 영향을 주는 배음 주변의 성분들이 있음을 밝혔다.
