About Physical Audio

Physical Audio is a UK-based developer specializing in physically modeled audio synthesis and processing. Their plugins use real-time physical modeling to simulate acoustic resonance in objects like strings, plates, and solid bodies, enabling sounds impossible with sample-based synthesis. Physical Audio's work is grounded in academic research into acoustics and vibration physics, and their instruments have been used in experimental music, film scoring, and interactive audio. Their Plate and Modal String instruments model real physical vibration behaviors computationally.
