Physical Audio has released Preparation 2, a major update to their physical modeling synthesizer.
Here’s what the developers have to say about it:
“Preparation 2 creates a virtual world of augmented strings using our latest physical modelling techniques. Two strings collide with a rattle and a dynamic fret to deliver a rich palette of acoustic timbres, from unique instruments to experimental soundscapes.”
Features:
- Two physically modeled strings or bars collide with a rattle and dynamic fret
- Excite the strings using Pluck, Bow or Audio (sidechain input)
- Set string/bar properties: Sustain, Tone, Inharmonicity, Gain, Pan, Non-Linearity/Tuning
- Deep customisation of fret and rattle (Position, Gap, Mass, Stiffness, Edge…)
- Effects suite featuring EQ, compressor, tremolo, phaser, VCF, wah, distortion, drive, fuzz, delay and reverb
- Two LFOs to modulate rattle/fret properties or effects controls
- Keyboard and Velocity modulation for string and rattle properties
- Detailed pluck designer to set range and low/high sensitivity
- MIDI CC and integrations, MPE functionality for pluck and bow force, position and glide
- Attack/Boost/Release controls shape the sound’s level through time
Pricing and Availability:
Preparation 2 is available now, priced at $59 USD (normally $99.00).
