Shimmer, hollow, locked, metallic: seven sound effects a didgeridoo can be evolved for
Besides tuning, DidgeLab can evolve a didgeridoo towards a sound colour, for example a shimmer, a hollow clarinet-like sound or a fully locked drone. We explain the acoustics behind seven such effects and let you listen to evolved didgeridoos for each of them.

DidgeLab can now play a didgeridoo before it is built, either from its bore shape or only from its acoustic target. Listen how close it comes to the real instruments of the Didge Archive.

DidgeLab has a second optimizer. CMA-ES finds better bores than the genetic algorithm and needs up to 4.5 times fewer simulations to get there.
