A physical-modeling voice synthesizer in the browser. Every sound comes from a simulated airway (lungs, vocal folds or syrinx, a branched vocal tract, lips, nose), not from samples. The engine is Rust, compiled to WebAssembly for an AudioWorklet; the same code runs natively for tests and the chimera CLI.

What it does:

• Play: drag the tongue, lips and jaw in a live cutaway of the head; vowel pad, encoders, computer keyboard and Web MIDI.
• Speak: English text (CMUdict with a letter-to-sound fallback) or IPA, turned into gestures and prosody, with the gestural score and a consonant chart on screen.
• Sing: piano roll with lyrics per note; consonants land before the beat.
• Beatbox: pads and a step sequencer, every drum an articulatory gesture.
• Bestiary: songbird (two-voice syrinx), seal, alligator and elephant.
• Duet (?show=<id>): two 3D heads replay a pre-rendered song.

Male, female and child bodies blend continuously. Everything on screen animates from live engine state: pressure in the airway, airflow, the vocal folds, spectra and formants.
