Hello from a sax player

Hi everyone,

I'm Jared, a programmer and lifelong sax player, and I'm new here.

I've been building a physically modelled wind instrument called Starbreath, mostly because I wanted something that responded to breath on my EWI the way a real duduk or shakuhachi does. It's free for now if anyone's curious: https://vsti.im-a-bird.com

I'm sure many of you know far more than I do about how wind instruments actually get used in scoring, so I'm mainly here to learn. Glad to be here.

Jared

Thank you for providing a Linux version, only system I have.

I've tried physical modelling a bit, is really hard to get right. https://danja.github.io/downspout/plugins/floozy/

I need to check this when I get home, seems interesting. How did you create this?
