Improve this question. Mark Eichenlaub Mark Eichenlaub Wish I had that back in high school. The tone increases, is held for a time not always and decreases. During this process the proportions of overtones varies. Exteme example: the mix of tones from a drum played by Your applet will not sound like a drum!
Our perception of tambre has a lot to do with the attack. Show 1 more comment. Active Oldest Votes. It's unlikely that you'd happen to stumble upon just the right combination of harmonics while playing with a synthesizer like that applet. But if, for example, you're looking at a table of the relative intensity of different peaks for a particular instrument, then you would know where to set the sliders, and that way you can get close enough to be recognizable.
It's easier with certain instruments flutes and guitars than others low brass , due to the relative complexity of the spectra. Even if you do manage to get the relative intensities of the harmonics exactly right, there's more to the spectrum than that - in other words, the frequencies that are integer multiples of the frequency of the note being played aren't the only ones that matter.
A real instrument is a complex system with many different resonant modes that can be excited in varying proportions, and not all of them are harmonics. To get something that sounds better than a cheap MIDI synthesizer, you need to duplicate all those modes. Doing this can be very computationally intensive, which is why cheap MIDI synthesizers don't sound real: they only reproduce the largest peaks in frequency space In fact, it's not even as simple as just talking about an instrument: you also have to take into account the musician, the acoustical environment reverb etc.
The same instrument can have a slightly different spectrum when it's playing a high note as opposed to a low note, for example, because of the non-harmonic modes.
We get used to hearing those differences in a musical performance. So when you try to synthesize a note without making adjustments based on absolute frequency, it tends to sound mechanical. And of course, there are the things the other answers mentioned about subtle adjustments in amplitude and frequency that musicians make, intentionally or not, as they play. These are also effects we get used to hearing in real musical performances, and we notice the difference when they are missing.

David Z David Z For many musicians, their instrument can be considered an extension of their voice, and there is some logical simplicity that girls might play the higher-pitched flute and boys the lower-ranged trumpet because it corresponds in some way to male and female vocal ranges. But given the historic discouragement of certain instruments during eras where gender roles were more stratified, it is easy to wonder how much of those pressures are reflected in the numbers even today.
At the top professional orchestra level, analysis by composer and programmer Suby Raman shows distinct gender preferences for certain instruments. Women musicians in 20 of the top American orchestras accounted for the majority of flute and violin players, as well as accounting for 95 percent of harpists.
Male musicians made up 91 percent of double bassists and anywhere from 95 to 97 percent of trumpet, trombone and tuba players. Multiple studies show that boys and girls start to show preferences for gender-stereotype instruments between third and fifth grade and in some cases exhibit those preferences even earlier. Researchers in that study found that girls tended to be more flexible about what instruments they might play, but boys were far more fixed in their perception of instrument choice.
It is so hard for them that it just astounds me. In a survey, third-grade boys ranked flute, cello and violin as their favorite instruments, but that changed dramatically by fifth grade where flute dropped to seventh out of eight instruments they were asked to rank.
By middle school, music is often a part of the social and personal identity that students are in the process of creating. The music that adolescents listen to — like the clothes they wear — begins to be influenced by friends and help define what circles they belong to. Similarly, what musical instrument a middle school student plays might become part of that same process in establishing their identity.
Researchers have found that whether a student played a gender-traditional instrument or not, they were aware of those stereotypes. In some cases students who played an instrument dominated by the opposite gender would say that stereotype encouraged them to go against the grain. Interviews with students from a study from the University of North Texas study show that media examples they had seen were also a factor.
The flutes are almost always looked over in marching band. Although, in concert band the lfute does get some awsome parts. Victor Posted by Archived posts. I play both flute and clarinet. I think they are equally as great. I think that the sound of the flute is much smoother and better. Login x Email Password Remember on this computer? Login or. Help Us Improve! Charity Jobs.
