			<description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Synful</strong> has an entire modelled orchestra (except percussion). Uneven in quality, and to most people its flaws were always more off-putting then its strengths were convincing — moreover, since a few years, the software has entered a period of neglect by its developer (possibly discouraged by the lack of response) and it’s very uncertain if this wil ever change again — but … it had a lot of promise and contains a handful of instruments which I still use now and again.</p><p>(1) <a href="http://www.synful.com/Sounds/Synful_Plays_Rite_of_Spring.mp3">http://www.synful.com/Sounds/Synful_Pla...Spring.mp3</a><br />(2) <a href="http://www.synful.com/Sounds/HeldenLeben.mp3">http://www.synful.com/Sounds/HeldenLeben.mp3</a></p><p>- - - </p><p><strong>Wallander WIVI</strong> models all the wind instruments (brass and woods). Again: you wouldn’t turn to this if the utmost in realism is what you’re after, but expertly programmed and wisely mixed, this software is capable of pretty amazing things.</p><p>(1) <a href="http://www.wallanderinstruments.com/music/R%20Strauss%20-%20Roberto%20Sogetti%20-%20WIVI%20-%20Serenade.mp3">http://www.wallanderinstruments.com/mus...renade.mp3</a><br />(2) <a href="http://www.wallanderinstruments.com/music/WA%20Mozart%20-%20WIVI%20-%20Gran%20Partita.mp3">http://www.wallanderinstruments.com/mus...artita.mp3</a><br />(3) <a href="http://www.wallanderinstruments.com/music/Martin%20Persson%20-%20WIVI%20-%20Messing%20Around.mp3">http://www.wallanderinstruments.com/mus...Around.mp3</a></p><p>- - - </p><p><strong>Sample Modelling</strong> started out making so-called hybrid instruments — part sampled, part modelled —, their solo trumpet being, in my opinion, a still unequalled work of genius, but their latest releases (the solo strings) are all 100% modelled.<br />As is to be expected, the timbre is prone to raise a few eyebrows here and there, but the expressive possibilities of these instruments are far beyond what samples can deliver.<br />If there’s any developer, besides Modartt, that deserves to be closely watched, as far as modeling instruments goes, it is Sample Modelling.</p><p>(1) <a href="http://www.sample-modeling.com/Demos/Strings/Violin/SMViolin_DebussySonata_2nd_movement_R.Soggetti.mp3">http://www.sample-modeling.com/Demos/St...ggetti.mp3</a><br />(2) <a href="http://www.sample-modeling.com/Demos/Strings/Violin/Cadenza_Rohan_de_Livera.mp3">http://www.sample-modeling.com/Demos/St...Livera.mp3</a><br />(3) <a href="http://www.sample-modeling.com/Demos/Strings/Violin/SMViolin_DingDong_Merrily_on_High_V.Emerson.mp3">http://www.sample-modeling.com/Demos/St...merson.mp3</a></p><p>- - - </p><p><strong>IK Multimedia</strong> recently came out with a very impressive engine for modelling electric bass guitar: MODO.</p><p><strong>NI Reaktor</strong> has a few ‘ensembles’ that do instrument modelling. Some of them surprisingly good.</p><p><strong>AAS Chromaphone</strong> is *very* good at modelling melodic percussion. Really great synth.</p><p><strong>Arturia Brass</strong>, which Joe already mentioned, is another one of those ‘physical modelling’ initiatives (and there have been many) which had promise — at least, as far as the trumpet and trombone were concerned; the saxes being, alas, incomprehensibly bad — but it doesn’t look like this will ever be further developed.</p><p>_</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Personally, I do not know of any resource that models musical instruments as well as Pianoteq models pianos.</p><p>Having tinkered with Arturia Brass (trumpet, trombone and sax), the concept looks nice on paper, but falls far short in practice.</p><p>A long time ago, Yamaha corporation had marketed a hardware modeled tenor (or alto ?) saxophone.&nbsp; &nbsp;It played one note at a time only (as was befitting a wind instrument),&nbsp; and consisted of a keyboard and required a breath controller.&nbsp; Most notably, it would squeak and squawk if played with too much air pressure in the breath controller.&nbsp; &nbsp;I saw it way back in the 1980&#039;s when the Consumer Electronics Shows were still held in Chicago.&nbsp; It was supposedly a look into the future, but I never saw much come of it.</p><p>An Italian electronic organ maker, whose brand shall remain nameless, marketed a modeled pipe organ in 2005.&nbsp; I tried it at the 2005 Winter NAMM show in Anaheim, California -- again, it was a nice try, and looked good on paper.&nbsp; Needless to say, I found the sounds to be thin and completely lacking in realism. </p><p>If there are modeled stringed instruments, I haven&#039;t heard of anything of note.</p><p>Cheers,</p><p>Joe</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Pianoteq is unbeatable. This is unquestionable.<br />Now I would like to know if there is any other physically modeled instrument that comes to this perfection?<br />Something for Strings, Brass, Woodwinds?<br />We currently have excellent sample libraries, but the future is physical modeling technology.</p>]]></description>
