Physical modelling - what's good?

[218]

Reaktor modal bank = up to 10.000 partials with independent decay , gain and damping per partial
Can't get any better than that
Here's one I made with just 32 partials

This one has been in my Reaktor favorites folder for a long time, and it will stay. Thank you very much for this awesome spectacular addition to the Reaktor user library

That link to the reaktor example wont work. It just comes up with random redirects. Hope you can fix it!

go.skimresources? What's this?

Works over here , Native instruments always redirect through something we have no control over (sharesale analytics )
Or you could just type my name in the user library search box

The Plasmonic thing (seem to be on its way soon) may be very interesting.

nvm

+1 for Sakura then.

Plucks, dinks, thumps, bells, and various other rim-hits one shots have been overdone with physical modeling for years with countless "modeling' apps or within synth suites. Not to say they aren't good, they just are a dime a dozen and nothing special.

As for what is "good", I can only speak for those I own and use often and they're both exceptional -- Resonans and Pianoteq -- what you can create with both is vast, limited only by your experience working with them. I may end up getting SWAM and Organteq as well, though I don't feel Organteq is worth it (unless you plan on using it a ton) so I've been on the fence -- plus those are both very specific which are not what the OP was asking for.

Take a look at this series on physical modeling with MSoundFactory.

Last I checked melda msf didn’t even have a damping per partial parameter , pretty essential since not all parials decay at the same rate ( see my reaktor ens )

You can do some very interesting stuff with Harmor that sounds like physical modeling, things like strings, wood blocks, gongs, bells, and so on. None of this is really physically accurate, but it is very interesting and highly variable. I made some posts showing this here:
viewtopic.php?f=1&t=543185&start=60

In that thread, I posted quite a few sound samples.

And if you really want control over partials, nothing really compares to what you can do here with images.

I like Modelonia

Not the prettiest UI, but pretty cool results.

Reaktor Prism is my favourite, bought on the last BF sale.

Expressivee Noisy, Chromaphone and Pianoteq are fantastic.
