hello everyone, I made this virtual performance with the SWAM Violin for my students of music production and applied music. Hope you like it, good listening.
hi soothingpanic, it took me about three hoursHow long did this take to program in?
Sorry mate. The fact that I have now played SWAM instruments on a freakin’ iPhone and a 24 key Roli Seaboard for an entire day has made me realize one thing: physical modeling IS the futureI sold my license. You're telling me I have to buy it again?
FFS.

There's a difference between instruments and players.Full orchestras where every single player is at our full command awaits us in the near future.
All of the synthiness of PM along with the lack of flexibility of pre-recorded samples? Count me in!Since a real violin has no EULA, I believe the government needs to create a law that says that physically modeled instruments can be used just like a real one, meaning no EULA restricting you from creating your own sample library using the virtual instrument.
There have been free, open source physically modeled instruments available for years.It will all happen anyway, as eventually there will be free open source physical instruments out there.
And very cool ones, like Serenade III in Reaktor.There have been free, open source physically modeled instruments available for years.

It's a good thing physical modeling doesn't require any actual skill to coax out a musical performance.

Sorry, I was being silly and snarky, and I guess that didn't translate into text well.Do you view the SWAM demo video in this thread to have Synthiness to it? I am so blown away by the SWAM demo that I cannot tell the difference between it and the real recording.
Yes, but... there's so much to unpack here.When you say that "There have been free, open source physically modeled instruments available for years.", I am assuming that none of these are close to the near perfection of SWAM violins?
"Perfection" is a strong word. There's certainly room for improvement in the sound of the SWAM violins, especially when compared to the Samplemodeling strings.
Not everyone will agree that:So what I don't get here is that if the SWAM demo from this tread sounds indistinguishable from a real violin, then how can there be need for improvement, or how can the Samplemodeling version sound better if the SWAM is already at an indistinguishable from reality level?
Caveat: I'm just computer programmer who happens to have an interest in music as a hobby. There are many people of this forum much better qualified to give their opinion.I obviously get that some or lots will disagree, but what about yourself. Do you hear a difference?
