Tiagolr “RipplerX”

GitHubでTiagolrというアカウントがRipplerXなる物理モデリングシンセのプラグインを公開しています。

何かに似てるなと思ったら、これモデルの内容（右スクショ）も含めてほぼApplied Acoustics SystemsのChromaphoneですね。
と、aboutを見たらAAS ChromaphoneやAbleton Collisionのような音と奏でられると書いてあります。あの洗練された感じには及ばないけどね、と。

About
RipplerX is a port of Rippler2 for the Reaper DAW, it started as a research project into physically modelled drums and ended up a synth heavily based on AAS Chromaphone and Sai’ke Partials.

The first version was based off Partials since it is one the few open source modal synths I could find, from there the main reference became Chromaphone and Collision, the controls and models are almost a one to one match.

Ripplerx has additional controls for Inharmonicity and model Ratio and a distinct sound, Chromaphone is a more complete synth with more features, it has a more sophisticated mallet generator, physics based serial coupling, a better UI, etc.. If you like this synth you should definetly check it out.

The value of RipplerX is as an open source alternative to AAS plugins, it also provides an entry point for developers or researchers into physical modelling.

Chromaphoneは解像度が高いだけに逆にリアリティの不足を感じる面がありました。なので、個人的にはRipplerXくらいのほうが割り切れてていいのかもな、って気が若干します。
