Reader Tim Webb (discchord) takes a look at Physynth, in this new video review. Physynth uses a physics engine to trigger sounds using four simulators. In Physynth, you ‘charge’ physical objects with sound and collide them with other objects to trigger them. Features: Four-track Soundscaping. Play with Realtime melody or rhythm over-dubbing. Physics-triggered sample engine… Read More Physynth For iPad Review

Free Windows Music Software: SoundDemon has introduced PianoSR – a Physical Modeling Sympathetic Resonance Generator for Windows: By applying Latest Physical Modeling technologies, PianoSR could accurately simulate Sympathetic Resonance while maintain a small size and reasonable CPU usage. PianoSR only generates Sympathetic Resonance based on incoming MIDI signal. So it is very useful when used… Read More Free Physical Modeling Sympathetic Resonance Generator For Windows
String Theory is a flexible, delay based physical modeling synth which is capable of a wide range of plucked strings, atmospheric pads and ambiences, and unique hybrid synth sounds. String Theory also offers dual phrase arpeggiators. Each arp has its own speed, gate, and octave controls; which allows for complex patterns.
Spicy Guitar is a free real-time acoustic guitar synthesis app for windows. The Spicy Guitar project is the product of one year’s work by two students at the Ecole Centrale Paris: “We wanted to combine our passion for music, specifically the guitar, with our experience in the sciences.” Thanks to an original idea, we have… Read More Free Windows Guitar Synth
We’ll admit it – this video of the V-Accordion Festival sort of freaked us out with its frightening majesty. The technology behind Roland’s V-Accordion line, though, is pretty interesting – combining everything you know and love about accordions (Italian restaurants) with a slice of MIDI-controlled synth action. It does orchestral sounds, physical behavior modeling and… Read More Play The Accordion, Win A Trip To Italy To Jam With The V-Accordion Babes
This is a demo of the biphonic vintage breath controlled physical-modeling synthesizer Yamaha VL-1. Sound On Sound’s review of the Yamaha VL-1 said: This is one of the most desirable instruments I have ever heard. I can see some session players earning lots of money from the VL1 — and that is probably where it… Read More Yamaha VL-1 Demo
This video captures a demo of Randy Jones’ $50 multi-touch interface prototype – an 8 x 8 touch sensitive array sampled at 1300 Hz. The project is part of Jones’ M.Sc Thesis, Intimate Control for Physical Modeling Synthesis. Abstract: Physical modeling synthesis has proven to be a successful method of synthesizing realistic sounds, but providing expressive controls… Read More An Inexpensive Multi-Touch Interface For Music
NUSofting has released Modelonia Physical Modeling Synth v1.7.0.6. Modelonia is a physical-modeling synthesizer that uses a hybrid of two distinct model ‘types’- a plucked-string model, and a blown-bore (ie trumpet-type) model. Each model may be used simultaneously, and the signal path allows cross-modulation between the two models for more interesting and complex tones. Preview the… Read More NUSofting Release Modelonia for Mac, AU and VST for OS X
HV Synth Design has released Trumpet Collection, the first in a planned series of acoustic modeled instruments, created with SynthMaker and based on a unique modeling method for creating sustained instruments. While the modeling is not slavishly strict, the results are nevertheless amazing. Demos are available at the site. Trumpet Collection Features: Instruments: Bass Trumpet,… Read More HV Synth Design Intros Virtual Trumpet Collection
