Sounds like you structured very well! Great idea to start with articulators, no need to worry about pitch. As an aside, which you may find interesting, on old tracker pipe organs you could determine the rate you release the key by the sound of wind being closed off by the pipe -- called a "schiff". A couple of decades ago there used to be a keyboard with no tone - just clicks for release of the keys - was used as a practice keyboard for organists. Anyway, keep us posted! Roger –

I am henceforth enlarging my classification scheme to incorporate Articulators into the existing categories of Movers and Shakers ;) That sounds wonderful.
