Here's a short snippet from Greenfield last Friday: https://www.jefftk.com/bass-whistle-percussive-example.mp3
I may play with the synthesis to change the attack properties to make it stick out even more, but there's a difficult triangle here:
* The sharper the attack, the more important extremely low latency is.
* The sharper the attack, the more important it is to avoid mistriggers (it thinking I'm starting to whistle when it's actually some other sound)
* The most powerful way of avoiding mistriggers is to wait for more samples before declaring whistling to have begun, which increases latency.
Mostly I need to experiment more, and learn to play it better.", "timestamp": "1563502405"}, {"author": "Jeff Kaufman", "source_link": "https://www.facebook.com/jefftk/posts/10100100377689142?comment_id=10100102591662322&reply_comment_id=10100102910343682", "anchor": "fb-10100102591662322_10100102910343682", "service": "fb", "text": "→ I played with it more, and you're definitely right, there should be an attack.
