—This paper presents a set of novel physical models for sound synthesis of membrane percussion instruments. First, a model for tension modulation in a struck circular membrane is...
When browsing a long video using a traditional timeline slider control, its effectiveness and precision degrade as a video's length grows. When browsing videos with more fram...
