I like the stk model opcodes the flute physical model has a lot of variables so you can get a really realistic sound with it, without being a sound deaign guru.

Hi all,

I'd like to write a wiki at some point about the topic of 'organic-sounding' synthesis. I'd like to collect a master list of ideas here in this forum and then start the wiki by cut/paste later, which can then be edited, of course. The idea is to collect as much information into one place about how to make beautiful-sounding, organic-sounding synthesis.

So, how about we start the discussion?

What are the ways you find to produce 'organic' sounds? We can break down these broad sub-categories with specific details

* Physical modelling techniques
* Sampling
* Additive synthesis with dynamic modulation
* Additive band-limited noise partials, or 'LORIS' techniques
* Spectral/PVS techniques
* Dynamic subtractive synthesis with band-limited noise, or 'buzz', etc.
* Dynamic PM or FM

Anyway, I invite you to start the discussion. :)

I've had good luck with deep evolving timbres using delay lines with
feedback and modulated delay periods in various ways. This is a common
factor in several techniques.

If sounds don't have sharp envelopes, you can throw a good reverb at
them and get deep sounds.

Regards,
Mike
