Yes, strangely regarding the flutes, while not perfect, I prefer the V1. The attacks are better defined, and the vibratos more credible, more in the dynamics than in the pitch. I'm not even sure that in a real flute, when the player plays a vibrato, that the pitch of the instrument is altered...

I think the problem comes from using the same ingredients for flutes and woodwinds. However, there is a significant difference between these two instruments. You blow directly into a flute while blowing through a mouthpiece in the woods, and all of this changes the way the sound is produced...

As much as I am convinced of the brass and sax, but much less for this time. The woodwinds are still good, but the flutes still need work. Vibratos don't sound good to my ears and I think something is wrong with the attacks of the flutes. It still remains an impressive work and I think that...

Leandro Gardini I don't like the title of your thread, because every time I get fooled into thinking that Sample Modeling has released a new product until I come to the word "tutorials". it's frustrating ! :laugh::laugh::laugh: In any case, thank you for sharing your experience with this plugin...

As said above, I'm not a pro when it comes to synthesis, and I think I'm not the only one. Yes Phaseplant is already well equipped to do the job, but it is not a tool to do this job specifically and easily. I think that Mr Blanco Berg's models require certain knowledge in this area. So I would...

Hi. I made this thread to address synth developers, and discuss future tools capable of creating synthesis-based acoustic instruments. I've been talking for a while, sometimes about physical modeling, resynthesis or others, all with the aim of having acoustic instruments more flexible than...

Me, I'm looking for a synth to recreate acoustic instruments that are more flexible to play and transform than samples. I bought Msoundfactory for this purpose but I am not an expert in synthesis techniques. So if a synth based on tools for resynthesizing samples can help me in this task in the...

We can only judge the book from its cover, as long as we can't see the inside. The best would be to be able to read it now... what?... who said "impatient little child"?... :laugh:

Without having the product in question and just based on what I've heard so far, I think that AcoustiSample's saxes are the best to date. But if you have Phaseplant, I would advise you to take a look at the baritone sax modeled by Joel Blanco Berg. For just $25 you have an agile instrument that...

Mr Joel Blanco Berg also works on strings from what I read from the link I put above. I can't wait to hear what that turns out to be.

You are right, thank you and sorry at the same time.

No, 30th as Solarsentinel said. I put an interesting intreview here: https://kilohearts.com/blog/interview_with_joel_blanco_berg

Oh my gods how blind I am, thank you Solarsentinel. 😅

Does anyone know how long the Expressive E/Phaseplant promotion lasts? I haven't seen the information on the site.

Tanarri Maybe this thread is for you: https://vi-control.net/community/threads/dune-old-theme-vs-new-theme.140681/

From the site: Brass A complete collection of all the standard instruments of a brass section in an orchestra. Modeled with wavetable synthesis and noise synthesis. Each instrument has multiple solo presets with unique convolution reverb so they can be played in unison without phasing...

I already have MSoundFactory and Wivi Pro and I don't like having several programs of the same type, but I admit that at the moment certain plugins stand out and I am in the process of considering whether to purchase the VWinds / VHorns series or the Phaseplant / Joel Blanco Berg combo. If...

Once again I am impressed by the work done on this modeling, and in particular on the emulation of legatos / portamento. Its developer says that more than sixty percent of its construction is dedicated to legatos, and that only the brass and baritone sax are equipped with this new programming...

Its modeling is refined and becomes more and more realistic. This is not the case for all his instruments, but his baritone saxophone... WOW! This proves that there is no need to sample 10 hours of an instrument and fill an entire hard drive to have something proban. A small wavetable...

Oh my God ! His first attempt was already impressive in itself, but now it's genius!

I may be wrong, but I think we're talking about several midi channels in a single Soundpaint instance, right?

It's not impossible, that's what Samplemodeling Solo And Ensemble strings does with a more or less convincing result. I don't see why a method that would work for VWinds couldn't work for VStrings. I think that Acoustisample has found a way to make the sound evolve from one sample to another by...

I have been following the development of Acousticsamples products for a while, and although I am already convinced of their qualities, a further step has been taken. I ask developers for a little more innovation in the field of sampling rather than creating libraries that are ever more heavy on...

I may have misjudged Modeler's presets after seeing this video, but that doesn't change the fact that it's a good representative of physical modeling, especially when it comes to plucked strings: In any case it seems to be a good sound designer tool, I think @Databroth should get his hands on it.

I'm not disappointed with this "new" Cakewalk interface, it may be a little too simplified at times, like the faders for example, but overall it's pleasant (for my taste). Now to see what will really be new to the DAW apart from the design. I also remember a video talking about the future of...

Maybe this will be the Realivox men like? (and more) :

I created a thread whose aim was to explain my fear of seeing melodic music disappear in favor of ambient sound design, due to the promotion of Hans Zimmer in cinema. I was burned with napalm by his fans, and I understand it because my words were not gentle in saying that I was allergic to his...

Hahaha, it's not the SC-88 I expressed myself badly (corrected), I took as an example a version made on SC-88 to make my mokup. As usual I used my range of modeled tools (Friktion...), so all my efforts to make this theme sound "realistic" ultimately sounds like a rompler from the 80s/90s? Ok, I...

Thank's to Yuzo Koshiro. Japanese role-playing video games largely contributed to shaping my musical ear during my childhood. The genre is teeming with heady melodic treasures.

However, I never had this game, I don't know where I heard its melodies, but this intro music stayed in my head for several decades. I decided to make a mokup inspired on audios from an old Roland SC-88 to share my love for this composition by Yuzo Koshiro. Happy listening to you!

I think I've said it here before, but even if I bought it, I won't mind seeing Wivi come back free and open source. This could give it the possibility of being continually updated by a community, and we could compensate the creator with donations, rather than letting this excellent software fall...

AAS Objeq mentioned above is chromaphone in the form of an effect.

Yes of course, the dexterity and inventiveness of the player is the most important element (as in all instruments). But for the case of PM, for certain instruments we also need the appropriate tool, and Seaboard and co comes close. For instruments as complex as strings, I even wonder if the MPE...

Speaking of vibratos, I never liked the vibratos created in Seaboard, I think that technically there is a "jump" that is made in the pitch. I hear as if there is missing data when it is played quickly, like in the case of a vibrato. I don't hear this on Osmose (see example below). So, it is...

I was talking about the frequency of the number of notes played, the tone is fine as it is.

I would never have believed that a "percussive" instrument like the piano could speak. Interesting experiment, and perhaps with a higher frequency of mute notes, the result would be even more intelligible.

I just did an experiment with the Outersect Modeler demo, to see what this plugin has in store. I tried to make a brass instrument with it, but I haven't had a satisfactory result yet. My flute file is available here: Favorite Physical Modeling VSTi in 2021... and Beyond! (End of topic)

It's a funny coincidence, I recently created a flute using Outersect Modeler (a physical modeling synth), and I took up this theme by also abusing the overblow. But more seriously, I don't know if VWinds does it with its hybrid part, but this kind of articulation would be useful in certain kinds...

Lie, none of the parts of this piano hold in a pocket! :laugh: However, the pianist is a killer (the bassist and the drummer also obviously).

I'm curious to hear if 1.1 really sounds better, because I haven't been excited about SSS until now. I await your feedback.

At one time, I passed on Prism because Reaktor demanded too many resources from my computer. But today, despite having enough power, I still haven't gotten my hands on this program, certainly because I don't see from how it works, how to create a realistic type instrument. Under Reaktor I prefer...

As I suspected, Modeler is capable of great things in the field of realistic instruments, as evidenced by my little flute test (I finally managed to make an audio): Watch out for your ears! :laugh: (overblows on first exemple) I used the reed module and I did that easily, now we have to...

I did a little test on the Outersect Modeler demo, trying to create a "realistic" flute. I arrived at a satisfactory result, even if there is still work to prove it, but I love the ease of being able to create overblows. The demo doesn't allow me to save audio, so I put my patch plus a midi file...

As for Outersect Modeler, I feel that this plugin is capable of great things, it is just poorly served by its patches (personal opinion and without wanting to be offensive to their creators). For physical modeling in general, this technology is quite capable, but it requires a lot of...

I admit to being a little disappointed with Outersect Modeler after a quick test of the demo. It's not that the plugin is bad, it seems powerful enough to do great things, but the patches don't reflect what Modeler is capable of. I skimmed all the presets and I didn't get the wow effect while...

I just saw that there is a trial version of Outersect Modeler (requiring some personal information and creating an account). Let's try it out!

Damn, a new toy appears while I still haven't finished mastering Friktion and I haven't even had the time to put my hands in the bowels of Objekt. This Outersect Modeler looks delicious, I'm waiting to have a sounds walkthrough video to get a more precise impression. I'm also waiting to see...

I put this here:

I'm sorry, I probably contributed to making this thread off-topic. Here's a more appropriate thread: Organic Sound Design

holonology Imagine and Chromaphone use the same engine, so the sound is the same. Imagine's interface seems simpler, but it has an envelope system that Chromaphone does not have. Imagine's interface would seem more modern and more appropriate for your type of music I think. My comment is based...

Tomofon is close to that, it would have been enough for its engine to manage the layers and for its resynthesis to be cleaner (it has difficulty synthesizing anything that is not tonal like noise) for us to have a sampler next gen who might have changed the game. Acoustisample would not have...

Firstly, Happy New Year to you, with lots of love, good health and success. I hope you are wrong and that the innovation created by Synplant will lead developers to use the captured sounds to reconstruct the original instrument in a more expressive way than the conventional sample. This was...

All this seems promising, to see in practice. But I would like developers like Dawesome, Sonic Charge or others to create these tools with all types of users in mind, and not just for sound designers. I think synthesis can also help recreate the world of acoustics and revolutionize our...

Thank you for your reply but I don't really understand the concept of layers that you describe. I was talking about being able to transform a captured sound A into a sound B by morphing, is this possible with "Bulb Mode" or would it just be a crossfade between 2 instances of Synplant?

Sad to hear that Wivi does not work under certain Mac configurations, and happy that its creator is looking into the issue. No problem for me who am on Windows 10 and relatively recent configuration. I bought Wivi a little while before it was abandoned, preferring it to the Swam or Infinite...

jbuhler I think that at the moment SynthV is the software most capable of completing your quest by seeing this kind of example. It sounds synthetic, because the user is going out of the singer's register and hasn't taken the time to "polish" his work I think, but it shows how powerful the...

I think that if the sound engine is powerful, there is no need to have a library of classical singers to have a so-called classical voice (I assume you mean by that, opera singers). By testing Tomofon and exaggerating the vibratos, I arrive at something very lyrical even though I don't think...

I'm not familiar with the technology and it's possible that I'm saying something stupid, but I think it's a story of a resonator effect applied to the audio, plus an IR of the desired sound.

Another newcomer in the AAS objeq-delay or Reason Objekt style:

We are getting closer to that little by little. I am surprised that the developers of symplant have not thought of an interpolation system between at least 2 sources. I could be wrong, but I don't think it would be difficult to slide from one parameter group to another. Too bad, in the...

I was hopeful when I saw the interface showing several branches with note indications, I told myself that we could transform the sound from one sample parameter to another, but maybe it will be in Synplant 3.

I'm putting this here, since the Synplant 2 thread has been inactive since October, to have a better chance of having an answer to my question. My question in Synplant thread

In the VI world, I'm more drawn to something more malleable than sampling, like physical modeling or resynthesis. I've been seeing the name Synplant on this forum for a while without knowing what it is. But recently, in the Resynthesis synthesizers thread, I saw the ability of this synthesizer...

I think we complicate our lives with technical aspects rather than simplifying things. For exemple, in Tomofon (or Pipa), the developers had the idea of using existing techniques such as wavetable and granular synthesis to make the use of samples more "elastic". The result is not perfect and can...

What I don't understand is that today we're still at the same point, whereas Kyma X, Redmatica Keymap, or worse, quietmind's work is not new. The only plugin I know that is innovating in this direction today is Tomofon. In view of all the examples above, I remain convinced that our current tools...

I just discovered Kyma X, which made me want to dig out my old thread. Damn, the sampling industry really needs to move towards an "elastic" format that would allow this kind of thing and revolutionize our plugins.

Or maybe it would be simpler to use tools like Multi Divisi Script or Divisimate to do polyphonic legato?!

It's not clear to me. Do we have access to the entire catalog, before and until 2023, or only the new releases for 2023?

Not being a live player (I only compose under piano roll) I can't tell you if Friction is a good program in terms of the agility of its vibrato. But I think so if we consider that it's a synth in the modular environment of Reason. That is to say that if you want a vibrato like this or like...

Thank you for shedding light on Hise, who I didn't really know. I always thought it was a programmer only thing, but it seems like it's accessible for non-coders like me.

The only plugin I found in this category is Tomofon, and that suggests powerful possibilities. Just being able to slide the key from one sample to the next shows how exciting this technology is. No more tons of samples to simulate legatos and co, everything is done by morphing between the...

As I expressed in this thread, I would dream of a sampler based on resynthesis, which would provide the best of both worlds, sampling for the authenticity of the original sound, and synthesis for sonic flexibility (morphing, pitch manipulation...). If I knew how to program, I think that would be...

Certainly enough. :laugh:

Yes. I only used simple vowels (A i a! e u o) in the HC wordbuilder corresponding to my song. Then I brought the sound of HC into Ovox, and I sang the song in sync. So I have my choir sound modulated by my own voice (consonants, breathing, everything is there). Certainly the quality is not the...

I was looking for a choir library capable of doing something other than parts of Latin phrases, but real phrases, and EWHC was the only one capable of that. So I bought it during a big promotion, and even if HC is not such a bad plugin, I admit to being disappointed in the end. I find that the...

I'm still discovering the One Piece live action series, and in episode 4 I find that there is music that requires attention. I think we have a very beautiful orchestration here, especially when the music becomes more structured at 2:12 mins:

"Born To Be Wide" is what i have in mind.

Thank you YaniDee, thanks to you we can go around the world 6 times just with a link. :laugh:

Wanting to feed a thread, I came across an interesting video. I've seen this video before, but seeing it again with Charles Cornell's meticulous analysis makes it even more fun. I love seeing his reaction, like shaking his head like he's listening to rock drums, a treat I wanted to share with...

Even if Anglo-Saxon music dominates the world market (no misunderstanding, i like this music too), I would have liked it to be otherwise, for there to be more diversity and for this art to help us get closer and understand each other (yes, I'm a utopian :laugh:). This does not prevent me from...

Yes of course, By MPE instruments I meant the Roli Seabord, the Lininstrument, the K-Board Pro 4... in short, everything based on the keyboard is not enough to control the instruments modeled on the basis of bowed strings. There are too many parameters to manage in real time for this to be...

It's quite fascinating to see that nowadays our machines are able to emulate old electronic chips like the YM2612. I must have already mentioned it in these lines, but in the genre there is also FMDrive by Aly James, or perhaps the most advanced CHIPSYNTH MD by Plogue (they also have a DX7...

Friktion is a string simulator that is not locked on violins, violas, cellos and double basses like Swam, there are plenty of parameters that can transform it into a guitar, a flute or a completely synthetic instrument. With all due respect to Jordan Rudess, badly tuned, it may sound like the...

I for the most part agree with the fact that alot of the demos of physical modeling instruments that we hear are often not credible, but... I also think that most of the time these instruments are poorly exploited, like what @youngpokie explained above. A PM instrument requires much, much, much...

Before this series, I didn't know McCreary, and now I'm a big fan, especially of this sound: I'm on a mockup of the opening music of Foundation, and I admit that the "sound particles" part is a problem for me, I have trouble defining what makes up the intro of this composition (flutes...

This interesting video of @LoFiLeif makes me want to bring this thread back to life. Besides, I think the title should be changed to something more timeless than "Favorite Physical Modeling VSTi in 2021?".

Again, I apologize for the way I expressed my tastes about Zimer's music, I didn't mean to be harsh and disrespectful to the artist. The fact is that as current music tends to be inspired by him, I had to react at the time in a disproportionate way and even contrary to what I really think. He...

Ooops, maybe I'm late in making suggestions?! :laugh:

Nice from a developer to ask future customers what he would have liked to have as a library, thank you for this initiative. Maybe a library where you could build your own ensemble of strings would be cool, wouldn't it? Define the number of players, their placement in the space... (sorry if the...

I don't know all the films you mentioned, but concerning Mandalorian, it would be more on the melodic side than the textured atmosphere. Again I have nothing against background music, I just regret when it is not underlined by something haunting, such as the bass flute in The Mandalorian. That's...

I hadn't thought to see if someone had already done this kind of editing, and from my point of view, it blends perfectly. Needless to say, I would have liked a version of this type to be remastered.

Excellent video that illustrates my feelings for Dune, even if of course in this case it is melodic music from Marvel. But all I can say to that is that not everyone can be John Williams. In addition, I retained at least 2 Marvel sounds, the Avengers theme, and the end credits of DR Strange...

Yes... and no. Once again I listen and I understand what you say for the sound support part of the image (the job as you say), all the films do it. But don't you think that a film producer has every commercial interest in the sound being as memorable as the picture for merchandising and all...

Actually I think I misspoke by implying that I didn't like the work done on Dune and Blade Runner (remakes). Yes I am the type to generalize, to exaggerate, yes in absolute terms the music fulfills its role of accompanying the subject, but my observation (apparently personal) is that it lacks at...
