Hi Ed

If you haven't already, check out Applied Acoustic's Tasman (I may have the number of s's or n's wrong). This is modular soft synth with lots of physical-model modules.

There are patent issues affecting all this. Yamaha licensed some Stanford technology for its physical modeling synths. I am under the impression that Clavia does not intend to get licenses, but intends to implement physical modeling differently. I haven't heard any models other than the string, so we will have to wait for the G2 or more demos to see what other physical models there might be.
