Hey hey,
there is an updated version, with a much better README, including better
instructions on how to set up the instrument and configure the scales. Then

This sounds much better than I expected.
Thanks Paul!

Based
on that [papers], it seemed clear to me that you would need many more
sympathetic resonators than you've done here, but the sound is
actually not bad at all.
I didn't use any paper. Yet, I used some basic knolwedge of physical
modelling. 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. :)

However, the behavior seems odd to me. About 50% of the keys on my kbd
trigger a velocity-sensitive sound that doesn't sound much like a
handpan though is somehow related, the other half generate a
velocity-insensitive sound that sounds a lot like a handpan.
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
