Very good tutorial. Only in first chapter  "Why does a piano sound like a piano?" , from page "Hammer-string interaction" , I can't hear the sounds samples.

Strange, the same happened to me, but then I tried again and it worked. Maybe the server was too busy...

Thanks Philippe !

P.S.  You may wish to revisit the sine wave tone of Middle C (C4) in your first audio example.  If you listen through headphones, you may hear a soft third harmonic (G5) creeping in to the audio.

First example revisited, thanks again Joe.

Thank you Philippe!

Don't forget Philippe is also a teacher, and  he probably looks for creative ways to teach people about complex themes.

Let me symbolize how difficult it's Philippe's work to create a natural modelled piano sound:

It's difficult as being in the center of the field in a japanese stadium, and figure where is the chinese man in the crowd.

Many Thanks

Wonderful presentation.

I especially enjoyed the logical progression of steps taken in the tutorial.  Surely the "final product" form of your tutorial belies how difficult it was for you to take a concept and make it look so easy and organized to present!

Cheers,

Joe

Wow, you are right, it is soft indeed (something like -60dB, you have golden ears ) but it's there, thanks for pointing, we will have to eliminate this intruder.
