listening: Shakuhachi (Japanese flute), with an ear toward modeling. What goes into a "complete" model in terms of the instrument's characteristics and the performer's style? Two directions for synthesis can be contrasted, either physical models (starting like we have from the tube) or acoustic simulation (from Fourier analysis). The next homework is an introduction to the latter.

Using the FFT analysis in Snd with different sounds requires tuning of incoming sample window, FFT size, and frequency range. These are two views of the tuning fork that we recorded. It approximates a sine wave after the attack.
