So I am not sure if this is the right place for this, but I just recently purchased sax and violin from Audio Modeling | SWAM and Sound Engine Technologies and WOW! this is the way things should be.
I am surprised not more companies are doing this type of development work. Instead of sampling gigs and gigs of wave forms, every articulation etc. why not analyze the structure of an instrument and resulting wave signatures when played, and model that, using AI perhaps?
Does native instruments have any plans to create instruments like that? Love to see more, of this type of versatile instrument development.
