Hi Anthony,
i strongly agree with you on many points but i still want you to point me out to ANY equivalents Sounds like the ones above
especially for our kind of music. No one claims that with FM i will replace a SAZ or an Acoustic Guitar but my point is to point
out that your claim that FM is for something else is purely wrong and i think i proved it enough. I am not new to this, i our world
i was probably the only one to BRAKE the MOSS at the time, i do this for long time.
If you really believe that Sampling can do
better then this i will Demonstrate again that you are wrong and where Samples are left behind Modeling. If MOD-7 or FM or
whatever you call it its called actually THAT it does not mean it cannot do Physical Modeling...maybe not in your knowledge
and not in the right term of Physical Modeling but in my knowledge, experience it can do ANYTHING i want it to actually do.
Especially You, coming from our background of Music know for a fact that such Sounds as THESE NEVER existed before
on any machine by Modeling only EXCEPT: Kottis, Berhan and few other programmers got close with Trinity TriSolo.
On you examples, i know them for long time and i love them, i have to admit them...it would be nice if you tell me with what
MODELING you got the Clarinet...
as for the Violin, it is Sampled and i can again prove that to you with the Same Violin and
why it can't be as good as a Modeled Violin...i can explain it by steps...for start...Overlapped Legato on the notes.
Take a listen to your own Violin:

and see how fake the Legato Sounds, overlapping every single note, there is no expression.
Now, these are real HIGH END Violins and you can still hear the fake in Legato:

And yet this is how a real Violin sounds like:

Don't get me wrong, i had to point out things like this because many times i don't agree with your statements same as most
of us heavyweights in here...the problems is very simple...when i started here i was YOU, exactly like YOU...thinking that
no one in here knows anything but me...then i found out that actually there was some real BALLS in here.
Maybe you can preach to certain choir of mortals what FM or Modeled is...but not to few of us.
Lets go on...your quote about portamento and articulations, if you want i will again prove to you step by step that you can
NEVER achieve the Portamento using Samples the way i can using some of the Engines, Samples are simply Flat,
will overlap in Legato and no matter how C# is different then C when Legato it will Sound like a Squealing Pig.
Be it a 3000$ Kronos, 500$ Kontakt or ANYWHERE...Now, if you start talking about Scripting in the Caliber of
EWQL, SampleModeling, AudioBro, my friend and your Countryman Marios Paradisis from Hybrid Strings...then of course
you are right...but no, that's a different story, no machine can to that YET.
If you still up for me to prove the two points above where i said i will prove you wrong just say so and i will do so.
I base all of this ONLY on the FEEDBACK i received on these and other new sounds, here, right on top of US in this Topic
and also many other forums, emails, aquirements e tc. Whatever Sounded like SHOWING OFF up there i admit it does
exactly sound like that but unintentionally, its just stating facts, maybe not or known to you...but known to a lot of people
here on the forums and friends basically in all 4 corners of the world.
Thanks
The onyl time i did a better job on a Gaida was on Motif using the VL Card which even by today's
standards can beat Kronos in Physical Modeling. Here is an MP3, its PLG VL:
