Sylfid-f1 is a VSTi / AU audio plugin that generates sounds based on a
new physical model of strings.
The goal is not to emulate any existing instrument, but to create a
new musical instrument.
The model consists of a set of two strings for each of the 88 keys. A
virtual hammer strikes the strings. The vibrations are converted to
sounds.
The model doesn't use any samples: everything is computed in real
time. This gives the freedom to change any parameter of the model,
allowing to tune the instrument in many different ways, and to produce
a wide variety of different sounds.
For instance, you can change the material the strings are made of from
plastic to metal, or adjust the shape and hardness of the hammer along
with its position on the strings.
All these properties can be modified on a per string basis.
Another benefit of the simulation is that there are no discontinuities
between the notes, or between different velocities.
