I just discovered MuLab and purchased the product today - and find it prefect for using as a software based "modular synthesizer". However, using these tools is beyond my current experience.

I would like to pay anyone out there to do the following by using Mulab. The deliverable would be an Mulabs project which I would then modify.

I need to to synthesize a dog bark. This can NOT use any recorded wave files. This must be based on several sine waves with a low white noise - then with one or more LFOs, mixers, and ADSR envelope.

First you would synthesize a dog growl, later using the growl to expand and create the full dog bark.

Thanks,

Luther

Ugliness, however, goes right the way through

doubt it; the physiology of a growl isnt a precursor to the physiology of a bark. try it yourself, saying 'grrrrrr' then 'yow' or 'wow' (which is probably the closest vocal shape to most barks and yelps). although they both use vocal chords, tongue, etc, they have nothing in common in that usage.

since any pure synthesis of either would have to be rooted in at least some semblance of the vocal tract behaviour, I suspect you're talking about two separate sounds, not one with two variants.

also subtractive synthesis probably aint the way forward here, IMO, especially without far more complex envelopes and modulators than just basic ADSRs etc

Like the previous poster, Im also curious about the specificity of this...

I have Elder Thing a xoxos plugin able to do this, xoxos is a specialist in these things
in the manual is explained the whole process it's really interesting reading and perhaps with a bit of work you can do this in mux
if you want to take a look this is the link,There is a demo and audio examples
