Development of breath-controlled wind models

[Chet]

I'm revisiting a Reaktor ensemble I wrote a few years ago. It was called Silverwood, and was a collection of wind physical models, controlled by breath.

I know a bit more now than then, so I'm revisiting this and trying to improve the models. I enjoy doing this, and expect this will be a work in progress.

The first update is attached. It contains some new brass models, along with some experimental alto saxophones and clarinets.

I've added two oboes, a bass clarinet, and a third tenor sax.

In the woodwind snapshot names 'RH' stands for 'register hole' which kicks in for playing higher notes. 'RH DC' stands for 'register hole + distortion + comb filter', which adds a shaper and comb filter along with the register hole.

Silverwood with the Eigenharp is my favourite Reaktori ens so I'm looking forward to trying these models.
Any chance of a modelled harmonica?

Many thanks for sharing

[Chet]

You're welcome. I think I could EQ the saxophone model to imitate a harmonica, because they're both blown reeds. But I'd need some harmonica samples to do it. Best would be every fourth semitone. One volume level minimum, although multiple volume levels (or a crescendo or decrescendo) would be better because then crescendos could be modeled.

[Chet]

I've added a flute, an English horn, a bassoon, and a tenor sax that I've tried to model after the WIVI tenor sax.

I had abandoned this for about a year, but recently began working with it again. There's an additional alto sax and a soprano recorder.

Here's a small mp3 of the recorder.

Sounds good to me!
