Though mainly, I went by ear, listening to the instrument I played and starting from there. It's a mix of additive synthesis using highly resonant mode filters and then added some waveguide components to aid the sound I wanted. It is very soft though. Still, it runs in realtime without a hitch. :) Ah, I should have made that clearer, another thing to change in the README. If you don't hit a note that is in the scale, you will just trigger the resonator. It's a bit like striking a handpan where there is no note. Not, sure if such areas exist on a real handpan, they certainly do on a Rav Vast. Thanks again for trying and commenting so nicely. I hope you can enjoy some pseudo handpanning some time. :) Best wishes, Jeanette -- * Website: http://juliencoder.de - for summer is a state of sound * Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMS4rfGrTwz8W7jhC1Jnv7g * Audiobombs: https://www.audiobombs.com/users/jeanette_c * GitHub: https://github.com/jeanette-c Can't make you love me I'm just a girl with a crush on you <3 (Britney Spears)

And what's your preferred samplerate? Do you run at 48000Hz? If you don't know, it's most likely 44100. I tested it on my system running on a single 3GHz CPU core of an Intel i3, but then I don't have any desktop environment running. Also I do run Csound 6.16. There are always updates, also touching on efficiency. If you still get many underruns check a CPU meter. There is top, I think loads of desktop come with little applets and other graphical CPU resource displays. Also Csound has buffering options. I don't work much with them. But csound --help shows: iobufsamps hardwarebufsamps which are -b and -B for short. Especially with direct JACK output you might want to adjust them a bit. If you suspect that your computer is too old, you can further reduce computation by changing the line ksmps = It's currently set to 1, you can go with anything that is a divider of the samplerate. So 2, 4, 5, 10 and 20 will certainly work. I hope that one of those is helpful.
