Just be careful with the "SHARC" terminology, it's also a brand
name for a series of Digital Signal Processing (DSP) IC chips made
by the company Analog Devices. They have a reputation of jealously
protecting their brand, and brand names, so please be careful.

Well... despite being a criminal enterprise, you might want to have a
look at the SHARC timbre database by Greg Sandell:

http://www.timbre.ws/sharc/

And, incriminating though this may be: Stephen Yi made a Csound
version    of   the   SHARC   database   on   his   Csounds.com
page: http://csounds.com/stevenyi/

But... don't get caught.

 So what I'd like to know is, is there a simple model that produces

 wondering if there is something simple that imitates it. Maybe
 granular synthesis?
