The relative significance of spectral and temporal envelopes for the synthesis of orchestral wind-instrument tones was evaluated by exchange of spectral and temporal envelopes among the wind instruments, by creation of artificial spectral envelopes, and by perturbation of the spectral envelopes. It was found that, for the oboe, clarinet, bassoon, tuba, and trumpet, where the spectral envelope i...

In the past thirty years we have seen a wide range of studies on the physical modeling of musical instruments using the waveguide technique. We now have at our disposal sophisticated models encompassing a large array of musical instruments. While the waveguide technique is both efficient and allows for the creation of effective models, it remains dependent on the precise control of the paramete...

To better understand the unique tone of both a plastic and wooden clarinet, an analysis of sound production was taken by several methods. The sound output from the clarinet was recorded and run through a phase-sensitive wave analysis program to determine the phase relations, frequencies, and intensities of the most prominent harmonics. Using a piezoelectric transducer, phase-sensitive measureme...

Active zone proteins cluster synaptic vesicles at presynaptic terminals and coordinate their release. In forward genetic screens, we isolated a novel Caenorhabditis elegans active zone gene, clarinet (cla-1). cla-1 mutants exhibit defects in synaptic vesicle clustering, active zone structure and synapse number. As a result, they have reduced spontaneous vesicle release and increased synaptic de...

Gradated spectral interpolations between musical instrument tone pairs were used to investigate discrimination as a function of time-averaged spectral difference. All possible nonidentical pairs taken from a collection of eight musical instrument sounds consisting of bassoon, clarinet, flute, horn, oboe, saxophone, trumpet, and violin were tested. For each pair, several tones were generated wit...
