1. A method of synthesizing sounds produced by a plucked string comprising the steps of:

  • generating an input waveform corresponding to an initial plucking of the string, wherein waveform values are assigned to a plurality of predetermined points on the string and interpolating further waveform values based on the assigned values;

    initializing nodes of a neural network with values based on the input waveform;

    iteratively changing the node values based on weights associated with the nodes;

    outputting a waveform based on selected ones of the node values at a plurality of the iterations; and

    generating sound based on a sequence of the output waveforms, the generated sound simulating the sound made by the plucked string.
