I found this and neatened it up. It's a bit crap really, but it could be used as a basis to build something better. The guts is really all in the envelope generator that approximates a decent brass envelope you could use to drive a nice spectrum from, this is where I find brass instruments need work.
Try using a larger set of basis waves, maybe switch between 6 or 8 tables over the key range and replace the crummy tanh + cubic shaping with something better.

hi
i'd like to make a synth which would sound quite like the metal wind-blown instruments .. unfortunatly i haven't got Perry Cook's book handy, i had from the library before, but now ..
has anyone done any of similar stuff in pd? my project is not about making the same sound and/or simulate the instruments, but just make a synth which would have some similar sound character, i mean something that wouldn't just remind the instrument sound (like some cheap old kidies synthie could //) .... more like a sax put through some spacy effects is what i'm looking for!
cheers, happy patching! -- ilya
