Physical Modeling 101: Physical Modeling Explored by Joe Albano
Video 3 of 19 for Physical Modeling 101: Physical Modeling Explored
Physical Modeling simulates the properties of acoustic sound sources, such as string, brass or wind instruments. With physical modeling instruments, complex mathematical algorithms are used to generate the sound, but thankfully, you don't have to be a math genius to use them. In this course, synth expert Joe Albano takes a look at this unique synthesis method, and gives an overview of different software and hardware instruments that use it.
Joe starts the course with a brief history lesson on the evolution of Physical Modeling synthesis over the years. You learn how Physical Modeling compares with Sampling, and you discover the upsides and downsides of both methods, as well as the concepts and terminology involved. Joe looks at different physical modeling hardware instruments, like the Yamaha VL-1 and Korg Prophecy hardware synths from the mid-90s, and the Line 6 Variax guitars and the Roland V-Drums. The exploration continues with software synthesizers like Logic's VB3, VEP, Modartt Pianoteq, IK Multimedia's MODO Bass and drums, AAS modelers and more...
Let's get physical... Discover the power of Physical Modeling now with synthesis expert Joe Albano!

Great introductory video to the subject! I learned a lot! Many thanks

Although I respect this video, there are now instruments that begin with very high end samples, but also include isolated samples of every component of the desired sound. If we use a piano as an example, these components could include "damper noise", string resonance, duplex scale resonance, soundboard and bridge resonance and even how high the lid is lifted on a grand piano. Algorithms are used to introduce minute changes of which components, and how much of each of those components to include in the final performance. These are my my personal favorite final sounds.

super interesting, it's the future

SWAM solo instruments are the best physical models I have found. They sound so good and feel so natural on the ROLI seaboard.

[@jasonanderson5034]

is there anyway to turn sample libaries into physical models easily i got over a tb of libaries i made or even at a oderate level like some open source code or something i a programmer

[@moontan91]

no, some softsynths can do re-synthesis, but it's not physical modelling.

[@yussef961]

but problem with sample is no resonance effect I am happy with my pianoteq

[@yussef961]

@Shangex well maybe but not as good as pianoteq, you can't change the hammer noise, the softness etc etc almost everything and make the piano detuned a bit etc not comparable

[@jasonanderson5034]

@@yussef961 u cant detune a sample

[@yussef961]

this that's why i prefer pianoteq you can do whatever you want with the sound@@jasonanderson5034
