Subject: Middle Easten Flava's

Hello all,

I'm working on some middle Eastern influenced (Maybe not the ideal
thing to mention considering the current political climate) music, @
the minute...

& was wondering if anyones got any tips or patches that would help me
create something close(ish) to a middle Eastern Reed type
(Nagiswarmish) instrument?

Obviously the way you play the notes goes a great deal towards this -
Been reading up on some Arabic Modes & Rhythms (Takes us back to the
recent discussions - I dont play any instruments/am a non musician -
but some knowledge of theory is esential to expand your pallete)

I know Physical Moddeling would be more ideal but the AN's my only
tool...

& it dosent have to be particuarly realistic just have those timbral
elements if you no what I mean...

Any advice would be much appreciated

Thanks in advance

P
