Informations about the "Acoustic Modeling Synthesis"


The basic difference to another synthesizer is its own new sound creation called 'Acoustic Modeling', developed by TECHNICS.

How it works:

The basic parts to create a sound are two things: First the basicly sample (called DRIVER) out of the ROM-Memory, second the RESONATOR. The RESONATOR states a different body of natural instruments like a string, a cone, a flare and so on.

The great thing is that by programing a sound you can force the location where the RESONATER will be stimulated by the DRIVER. For example you can force where a string will be slaped or where in a cone bottle the sound of the DRIVER will be created.

Further you can program, how the stimulated wave in the body will be go on. You can also tune the body. All these parameters can be changed in realtime by routing to one of the controlers.

But not enough. Because one patch (sound) of the WSA1 can include up to 4 different tones, they are able for interactive influence theirself.

You shurely can imagine, what kind of different and dynamic sounds you can create whith this instrument.
