Chapter V: Physical Systems Modeling Synthesis
Technology
Physical systems modeling synthesis is the technique of using complex equations and algorithms to mathematically create models that replicate behavior and sound of physical instruments.Virtual Analog/Analog Modeling
Virtual analog is a term that describes the use of physical systems modeling to recreate the behavior and sound of analog synthesizers.Hover on a section of the KingKorg synthesizer below to find out what it does:
Electro-mechanical Modeling
Electro-mechanical modeling is the use of physical systems modeling to recreate the behavior and sound of electro-mechanical instruments like electric pianos and electric organs.Hover on a section of the Lounge Lizard Session plug-in below to find out what it does:
Acoustic Modeling
Acoustic modeling is the use of physical systems modeling to recreate the behavior and sound of acoustic instruments like wind instruments and string instruments.Hover on a section of the Logic Pro X Sculpture plug-in below to find out what it does:
