This is fantastic! So glad I found your channel. Big love from one creator to another! Looking forward to more episodes!

Great work, Sarah. Particularly interested in the weasel modeling, now that you've mentioned it.

I feel like this is the first time this stuff has made sense to me. This was very illustrative, and helped make a lot of digital audio work "click" for me. Also very soothing to listen to while working! Love the background music and sounds and jokes! Thank you and definitely interested in more tutorials and content :)

this was a really great intro!! i had never heard of physical modeling synthesis until now and i think you broke it down really well. the length is good too :)

I already like all your videos but tutorials are an excellent idea, cant wait to see more!!!

The way you explain stuff is so clear, thank you! You have the gift of pedagogical gab :)

omg plz more tutorials

excellent! this was great you presented the information in such an engaging and effective way. Definitely going to share with some friends.

i like that this was funny and straight to the point. most synth tube video are quite bumbling.

I never knew I needed to watch videos about the internals of electronic music until I discovered Sarah's videos. Thanks Sarah, your videos are amazing!

Yes! Please do more. I've been using Vital synth lately and I think it's pretty cool.

Awesome introductory explanation, which greatly encourages the targeted experimentation with this model.

I love your videos! I'll be interested in any/all videos you make!!!

I just wanted to say that I discovered your channel from the Sophie video, and I'm really loving the videos you make!

Physical Modelling is really intresting, thanks for the vid!

Pretty good video. I think a lot of people tend to ignore the fact that physical modelling can do a lot more than real instruments and go way further in terms of interesting sound design than trying to make a really accurate violin sound or whatever.

Really great explanations

Cool, I'm just starting out with Triton MOSS and this is really useful.

Thanks, really interesting. Indeed physical modeling synths are less popular then other types of synthesis. . I think the approach was mostly adopted by researchers and not musicians at first, because it was a little more complex to put in place. But that was years ago and it's not really the case anymore, so thanks for sharing your tips with us! Great tutorial, awesome has are all of your videos.

Great info! I've been going more into physical modelling. Traditional analog is cool. But it gets old. I just ordered a qu-bit surface eurorack module

Do more! So good! Peace from Sweden!

Physical modelling really took off after someone started using digital delay lines. Before that the idea was to do "real time finite elemnt analysis". "Real Time" means a sound sample (a single 16 or 24 bit number) in less time than than it's expected for the next sample to come. "Finite Element Analysis" is a technique to simulate physiscal objects by describing it with a huge number - but a finite one - of small simple elements. Finite element analysis is great for a lot of applications - mainly the ones where you have lots of time (days ... weeks) between samples. Simulating bridges is a great example. Then someone (I don't remember the name - but it was a real person) thought "why do I need to simulate the whole tridimensional string? Can't I just do a sort of unidimensional finite element analysis? And that's what the first image you showed depicts. I think it took too long for it to take off because 1) people didn't know what it meant and 2) it took time and experience to learn how to use it and how to correlate aspects of the model to physical characteristics of the instrument. The first time I heard about it was around 15 years ago and the researcher showed us a Berimbau (a single string instrument) that he played using Wii controllers. It was cool and sounded great but was no Berimbauteq, though. I can't show the synthesized version but I can show you a real berimbau alongside some martial art!!! kzread.info/dash/bejne/iGWnypOwfpqshJc.html

Yep, more tutorials would be really nice! Personnally, Buchla stuff has always remained very obscure (i have the Buchla from Arturia but i really struggle to understand how it works or why someone would use it).

Thank you!!

thank you!

Brilliant channel love it, question: lets say I get some vst with the gift of prophecy and can render a realistic physical model synth of an organic instrument (ie pianoteq has quite convincing synth packs) can that sort of data be used through a physical synth in a daw to produce relatively convincing sounds as well or are they stuck in the digital world?

I always use velocity to filter on subtractive synths.

Physical modeling is great, it's the next frontier of synthesis

For my EE senior project, I BEGGED my teammates implement my idea of making a synthesizer. They didn't want to go with it so I told them that we could make a digital physical modeling synthesizer and we can make the resonator a guitar string thats as long as the Brooklyn bridge and the resonator as big as the Statue of Liberty... We ended up making a solar panel :/

This channel is a prerequisite for anyone studying the art of sound. Or wanting to be an audio engineer as these principles apply. Also, that plant to your left (our right)looks wicked. Like a hand begging for a crumb.

1. You should have plugged Grids! I am very curious how you designed the sounds in that album. They're so well done. 2. I wonder if you've ever dabbled with granular synthesis and musique concrète. Personally, starting with an audio recording as a basis for sythesis tends to produce very acoustically viable sounds.

very interesting video, I've got one suggestion though, and not only for this video, that you might underestimate listeners from foreign first language, ...for us it would be very useful to hear a slightly slower and better articulated speech for better understanding, what do you think of it ? 😀 ...and this is a critique for any tutorials of the electronic music domain, none of yours in particular, mind you !

Kaivo is one of the most amazing synths, but also probably the most brutal CPU killer I've ever loaded, which made it basically unusable for me. :(

Hey, quick question- if you wanted to run a guitar output through a model of a a spruce soundboard, what method would you use to approach this?

I think it would be interesting to replicate the physical modeling patches from that academic link you posted in this video description. Sunvox could probably handle it.

Heh. "Stiffness control." (I'm forever twelve.) Yes, more tutorials!

Nonetheless about the complexity of physical modelling in supposedly replicating organic sounds, all these plugins, and most I've heard, both 1) Sound *not* like acoustic instrument/or sound clearly like inferior versions of them (so why shouldn't I just play the real thing?) while 2) Sounding less special, organic, whatever, than the tones you can get from well made analog synths, even though these synths technically lack some of the complexity and characteristics you can get from physically modelling. Personally for me, modular analog synthesis + acoustic instruments is the best of all worlds.

Good points for sure, but i think there is still good reason for some people to indulge them. A) even if not mastered, in some simpler uses they can still fit, and i do believe some people CAN master them, which would of course open up more scenarios B) cant always get as many musicians for a situation as youd like, also, cant always get players of orchestral instruments that can play jazz/RnB/trance etc. C) Basically no instrument can FLY the way keys can. A two-handed approach to a monophonic line can play just the wierdest jazzy melody at high speed. Even guitarists cant quite keep up, let alone sax or violin. And those are the instruments that can sort of fly compared to the rest. Bassoon? Upright Bass? French Horn? These instruments sound good, but what counts as "virtuoustic" on these instruments is NOTHING compared to keyboard playing, in terms of types of lines note selection wise. They can be expressive, and have unique timbre though. and D) the reality of volume. Real Acoustic piano often enough picks up feedback in rock groups, for example, so even when its available, its often not worth it. Tuba, hard to play quiet, its really for marching bands or orchestras in concert halls, or a jazz/new orleans group that isnt trying to play soft! Then theres the opposite issue of solo instruments NOT being loud enough, without mics which again can feedback.

Guitarists: AS a guitarist I could list countless examples to the contrary: Pat Martino, Paco de Lucia, Al di Meola, John McLaughlin, Vicente Amigo..etc. etc. And horn--? Charlie Parker and many others? C'mon, bebop invented a lot of the modern idea of virtuosos! D) Sure..but then we're just back to talking about imitations of acoustic pianos rather than new, unique, instruments that actually use physical modeling to create something different, right :) D) No disagreement there. That's an issue I've thought a lot about in terms of playing and recording with acoustic guitar + analog synths. I think I've mostly figured it out in a recording context via mic blending and analog processing, happy to say. But playing life with monitor feedback is a different challenge, yeah.

With digital pianos, physical modelers promise to stimulate strings that were not played. Is that true and how does that work?

@wiegraf9009

Жыл бұрын

It is true because that is one of the physical complexities of the piano that makes it so hard to accurately synthesize. The way it works is that the model simulates the resonance of ALL the piano strings at any given time in response to keys being struck. This includes how sound waves travel in the air inside the piano and how the rigid bodies inside the piano conduct kinetic energy!

Ah the old 'peeing weasel' technique.

I think this complexity should be hidden behind some simple parameters in a new type of synth, like usynth.

But if you hide the complexity, you also reduce the amount of sounds that can be made, so hopefully more complex synthesizers will be made.
