Re: [microsound] tamboura patches/programs

[Scott Carver <scott@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you need a significant amount of control over the sound (i.e. 
changing the pitch, attack, etc.) you might use some kind of spectral 
modeling software to make an instrument. Basically, you can analyze a 
sample of a tamboura and then use software to resynthesize the sound 
however you want (higher or lower pitched, faster or slower, and so 
forth). You can get some fantastic results this way, though it might 
take some work. There's commercial spectral modelling software like this:

which is basically just a nice interface added to something like this:

The latter is built into SuperCollider and Pd. If you're interested I 
could send you a quick SuperCollider patch to show you how it works.
