(Not a review).

I saw demo vid of RipplerX on Synth Anatomy, and it looks like a very thoughtful physical modeling synth.

Considering that Sculpture is locked into the Logic/MainStage realm; and Objekt is locked into Reason; two powerhouse physical modelers are proprietary. Other physical modelers like AAS Chromaphone or String Studio are kind of specific. Pianoteq is even more specific-- but fortunately, has branched out quite a bit from its original remit.

More experimental physical modeling a la the old school Yamaha VL1, are kind of hard to find-- particularly with the option to create brass & woodwinds. A few rare & wonderful exceptions exist in the Reaktor world, especially from a developer called Chet Singer.

RipperX was available for a while in beta (?), and behind the scenes was being shopped. Those efforts were successful, so we'll have to wait and see when/if the commercial version sees the light of day. Looking forward.

Simply one of the best. Fun to play with, and once you have a detailed patch set up and saved, you are basically set for life.. hard to replace plugn!.
