Huh, that wouldn't have occured to me. Thanks for a new perspective!

There does seem to be a bug - if you drag the tongue to the bottom left-most position, close the lips and bring them back as far as possible, raise the larynx all the way, and lower the soft palate all the way, the synthesizer starts making some kind of inhuman screeching sound (which is definitely not physically accurate).
My best guess for why is that the simulation parameters are set up slightly wrong in a way that is mostly fine for normal simulations (not an audible amount of distortion) but quickly goes off the rails on weird cases like the aforementioned.
Overall a really nice app though; honestly I was kinda blown away by it.

There was a post to a tweet about this but I also found there's a GitHub repo for the software and this link to it running!
Scrolling is an issue on iOS. Where my finger lands to scroll the page is captured by the head view. Took me a while to figure out how to get passed it.

I learned to throat sing to put my baby to sleep. I'm having fun trying to figure out what all the shapes of the different mouth/throat components I make to get the same sound in the synth.

That was very intriguing, I was able to tune the false vocal folds and adopt the proper anatomical positions and it did output a proper Khoomei overtone. I wasn't able to find the Kargyraa range, but I managed a decent Sygyt.
Damned impressive setup.

I'm still trying to figure those out with my human vocal equipment. I'm impressed that you got this to do it!

I can't work out how Klaus did the Mr. Sandman version.
Is that a modded version with 4 quartet singers at once?

Also is the name a Teto reference?
e.g. the "Voder" by Homer Dudley - Bell Labs, 1939:

> This was a complex machine to operate. After months of practice, a trained operator could produce recognizable speech.

Being trans, of course voice affirmation training.
Then singing comes to mind, followed by language learning.
A solid visual demo like this would help give people more than "okay now more like the a in aunt"

Please and thank you.

The vocal folds though? Lol
Then again the last thing VSTs need is some clown trying to wedge Electron or CEF in there
