Image-Line unveils Sakura, a string physical modelling instrument for both Windows and Mac. Currently only available as a FL Studio plugin.
Features:
Contact - An impulse, the mechanical contact with the string, is first generated then shaped to simulate plucks, picks, scrapes, hammers, taps or humble fingers.
Vibration - dual string model then gives the operator control over a wide range of parameters such as damping, tension, positioning and string properties.
String interaction – The dual strings are then mixed, panned and enveloped to simulate interactions.
Resonance - The string/s vibration then interacts with an 8-resonator ‘body simulator’ to create the size, material and shape of the instrument
Acoustics - Virtual acoustic space is then simulated with chorus, delay and reverberation effects.
Price: 99 dollar
