The new version of the synth plug-in features a larger GUI and a host of new presets
New from NUSofting comes Modelonia 2.0,
the latest incarnation of the company's physical modelling synth
plug-in.
For those that don't know, physical
modelling is a form of sound synthesis whereby the physical
properties of an instrument - the thickness and tension of a drum
skin, for instance, or the properties of a violin bow and string -
are modelled mathematically to recreate the sound given out by that
instrument. The first physical modelling synth was the Yamaha VL1 in
1994; the Korg Prophecy is another well-known example, while popular
software packages and VSTs that use or support physical modelling
technology include NI Reaktor, Korg Drum Designer and Arturia Brass.
NUSofting's upgraded addition to that
line-up, designed and developed by Luigi Felici, now features an
expanded and slicker-looking user interface, while the number of
presets has been increased to 370. The package is also now said to be
more stable, and comes with a completely rewritten 50-page manual. It
features two model types, 'plucked string' and 'blown bore', so is
ideally suited to creating string and brass sounds.
NUSofting Modelonia 2.0 operates as an
AU or VST plug-in and is compatible with both Windows and Mac
computers whether 32-bit or 64-bit. The full package is on sale now
for $69 (£45 approx), or existing Modelonia users can upgrade for
just $20 (£13 approx). There's also a free trial version available.
