Physical modeling (or “Virtual Analog”) wasn’t playing back previously recorded sounds, it used complex DSP algorithms to recreate the way the sounds themselves were actually created and processed. For one, engineers began talking in hushed tones about a new approach to recreating the way sound was created called “ physical modeling“. Two pivotal things would happen in this same era. Again, that space was limited and costly. The more realistic you wanted it to sound, the more individual samples were necessary. This same approach applied to samplers, loaded into RAM from floppies or a hard drive. Many manufacturers developed their own add-on ROM cards but the technology was still limited by the amount of memory you could physically fit into a small card, to say nothing of the fact even a paltry 8MB of memory still commanded a hefty price tag. At the time, the average synthesizer or workstation could only store so much information in its onboard ROM. Incoming signal, represented as voltage is then hacked up into… well, just read the link if you don’t know how this works. PCM (or “ Pulse Code Modulation“) was a gimmicky way of saying “these are samples”.
Prior to the mid 1990’s, most everything being released was based on PCM technology (yes, with a few notable exceptions). A CAREER IN MODELINGįrench developers Arturia cut their teeth at the start of the physical modeling gold rush. As in, this could be the only software instrument you ever need big. Like, 28 different instruments and a gazillion patches big. This does just about everything – including things the original instruments could never dream of. Once I loaded the AnalogLab front-end, the realization came over me quickly. I first approached this review assuming that V Collection 8 was focused largely on analog synthesizer emulation with a few curiosities tossed in for good measure. V Collection 8 is, put another way, a buffet of keyboard instruments ranging far and wide – expertly modeled, infintesimally configurable and stunningly rendered. You just won’t believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is.” For the DAW-based keyboard and synthesizer enthusiast, Arturia’s V Collection, now in it’s 8th edition, represents a collection of instruments that seeks to answer just how endless a concept like “endless” is.
In Douglas Adams’ “ Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy“, the titular guidebook explains the endless expanse of outer space as follows: “ Space is big.
