Hi
I am looking for a phisical modelling (i.e. NOT sample based) pipe organ synth. There's a really great synth called Aeolus for linux but I couldn't find anything similar for windows.
Any tips?
thanks
Nicola

I don't know of any non-sampled pipe organs, but you could probably build one with Tassman.

I use samples (PMI's baroque organ with Kontakt), so that doesn't help you.

In NI's Reaktor 5 there is the Steampipe 2 ensemble, which is fantastic.

Blurb from the NI site: "SteamPipe 2 is an acoustic modeling synthesizer that effectively models air being blown through a tunable pipe. It uses a tuned resonator to create bowed, blown, and plucked sounds, as well as strange new hybrid sounds. In addition to a tuned all-pass filter and many controls for the "shape" of the pipe, there is a mod wheel-controlled filter to achieve damping and breath noise effects. The new version uses new core cells for an even more powerful sound."

Applied Acoustics Tassman has some ready to use pm pipe organ synths:

-Double Manual Combo
-Orgscape
-Single/Double Manual

Those give the sound of a church/cathederal/ type pipe organ. As well, they have several 'combo organs' like you find a club band using.

Tassman also uses 3-4 tonewheels that can be midi controlled and mixed.

And finally you get all the other great AAS presets plus you can build your own:

Some great ones for the Nord Modular G2.
