I'm working on building a microtonal instrument in Pd using a breath controller. I've got one working, using the Stanford University STK clarinet model due to Cook and Scavone, but the results, while they have been used in a performance context at conferences and so on, don't really do the performer justice.
Does anybody know of something a bit more state-of-the-art that could be used to make clarinet sounding a little more convincing and being a bit more controllable? I don't mind putting a bit of effort into building a Pd wrapper for C code etc, but I really don't want to get my hands too dirty with any DSP programming right now. It would have to be something I could distribute, preferably FOSS.
There's a video explaining what I'm trying to do here:
(the patch has been improved a little since then, but it still sounds pretty much the same). Alex South explains the limitations of the system we've got so far at about 6'15 and again at about 9'15.
