I remember haring about someone creating a musical software model that was supposed to allow you to do things that you normally couldn't do i.e. pluck or strum a cymbal.
physical modelling synthesis has been around since the 70s. Some instruments are really complicated and require a bunch of FM oscillators to nicely replicate some physical sounds - things like cymbals and other metallic crashes especially.
I tried to find it but never have.
Does anyone else know what it is?
