The Nord Modular G2 is now scheduled to be available in January 04. While it as an analogue-modelling heritage, it comes with a "plucked string" physical model. A couple of the demo mp3s for the G2 use this model for an acoustic guitar and an electric guitar--I am quite impressed. Because of the excellent programming interface, this synth should make it relatively easy to manipulate the physical models. But I don't know what models other than the plucked string are to be included. Click on the G2 picture at www.clavia.com to check out the demos.
