This model allows them to take a recording of a clarinet and reduce it to the actions the player would have made. While they still haven't mastered tonguing, many other parameters apparently are accurately modeled. While the original work was aimed at audio compression, the instrument model seems to be one step closer to allowing instrument based computer assistance.
