Physical modeling synthesis
Physical modeling synthesis is a digital technique that creates sounds by simulating how real-world objects or instruments produce vibrations and sound waves. Instead of relying on recorded samples, it mathematically models the physical properties such as mass, elasticity, and resonance of instruments like strings, drums, or wind pipes. By adjusting these parameters, musicians and sound designers can generate realistic and expressive sounds that mimic actual instruments or craft entirely new tones. This approach allows for precise control and realistic sound production, making it a powerful tool in digital music and sound design.
