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.
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.
