Hey hey,
I just released this instrument:
http://juliencoder.de/sound/handpan-1.0.zip
It's a full orchestra, easily modifiable to work with supported MIDI and audio 
I/O. The scale can be changed to whatever you wish. There are two examples 
provided (see the giNote ftable in the header).

The handpan responds to MIDI velocity, turning up the modwheel (MIDI CC 1) 
beyond halfway will change the striking sound. Playing notes not in the scale 
will "strike" the resonator, i.e. any part of the instrument that isn't a 
clear note.

I played a Rav drum last weekend and found the experience very pleasurable and 
inspiring. So I wanted to design a substitute for Csound, thinking that it 
couldn't be too difficult. :) In the end each "tine" or note bit is made up of 
two mode filters and two waveguides. The resonator is created from single note 
resonators, each consdisting of two waveguides and one mode filter. Both notes 
and resonator are on all the time, only the strikes are triggered from MIDI.

I'm thinking about a short demo, but it will have to wait, until a few other 
projects are out of the way. :) I really shouldn't have written that 
instrument right now. :)

Best wishes and enjoy,

Jeanette
