Physical modelling drum product for 2018?

With that considered, it would be interesting if a VST drum synth would allow alternatives to being triggered via MIDI. That could be a means of sending the output of piezo mics and FSR sensors directly to the instrument as audio/CV, rather than being converted to MIDI first. You would need a multi input audio interface to get the most out of it, of course but then you could then use anything you would like as an exciter for the drum model. I hate to bring it back to the the Eurorack thing, but I wonder if Urs has had a chance to use a piezo (like Ears or Microphonie) to trigger his Rings module. It's not quite a Wavedrum, but it's a lot of fun!

Not sure if you know the product, but this sounds more or less exactly like what Impactor for iOS is doing, at least interface-wise.

I was just reading this, since his plates sound quite cool, and wondered if I could build something similar in Bitwig since I've been experimenting with modal and additive synthesis lately. But he's using hundreds of partials and calculations that I neither understand or would know how to implement in a modular system.

I would be very interested in a synth that could model this kind of complex nonlinear systems! With a good UI and sensible parameters this could be great also for experimental sounds. And any inharmonic sound can be made tonal just by moving or restricting the partials so that they conform to a/the harmonic series. So the line is really drawn in water.
