- Syrinx Model Sound Examples:
- Estimated Parameters (using Maximum Likelihood)
- Experimental Parameter Control:
- syrinx1.wav (oscillating input pressure and tension out of phase),
- syrinx2.wav (oscillating input pressure and tension at different frequencies for left and right valves)
- syrinx3.wav (ADSR envelope on the pressure with a down sweep on the tension),
- syrinx4.wav (ADSR envelope on the pressure with an up sweep on the tension),
- syrinx5.wav (higher pitched oscillating pressure and tension)

Note to Prospective Students
Simon Fraser University offers Master's and PhD programs in Computer
Science with the possibility of studying various areas of Computer
Music: digital audio processing, sound synthesis, musical controllers,
and particularly physical modelling synthesis. Prospective graduate
students wishing to study these areas under my supervision are
encouraged to apply to the graduate degree programs (Master's or Ph.D)
in Computer Science. Applications and additional information are
available at
http://www.cs.sfu.ca/gradpgm/.
