SWAM Solo Strings by Audio Modeling - expressive physical modeling
We at CatSynth are excited to present SWAM Strings from Audio Modeling, a library of expressive string instruments (violin, viola, cello, and double bass) meticulously created using physical modeling techniques. Starting with the cello, we explore most of the performance parameters, show how to automate them with a MIDI controller, and explore a few of the sub-models of the instrument. We then go on to look at the violin, double bass, and viola, again demonstrating the expressive performance possibilities.
This is the first of several videos on Audio Modeling's SWAM physical modeling instruments. In future videos we will explore the woodwinds, brass, and string sections.

The Most Dangerous Road in California: CA 49 Merced River Valley

We drive a short stretch of California Highway 49, the "Golden Chain Highway", as it descends into a deep valley cut by the Merced River (and partially submerged by the eastern end of Lake McClure).

    I am sure that "scratch" would be well-used by CAT Synth TV. The pizza's could use a bit more slap, especially the basses. Some of the high harmonics on the basses make pretty good flutes. It's a shame that the electric violin did not come with a good wah. You could really rock out Sea Train's 13 QUESTIONS from '70

    I would like to see a split version: simple cards with just the EEPROM, and a loading module. The EEPROM is like 5€, so you could built cartridges for 10€ each, and have a bunch of them. Another benefit is that you can 3D print a case that is close to the original shape.

    Metallica has a similar divide like black Sabbath. There's the first four albums and then there's everything else. A lot of people born in the 70s who were between 12 and 16 when the black album came out divide Metallica by the first 5 albums instead of the first four.

    I know I gave you too much grief over the music, but I'd love it if you could do an updated version since the Centennial Corridor Project through Bakersfield was completed, it's now possible to shave nearly an hour from I-5 onto Highway 58 through downtown Bakersfield to meet up with the eastern part of highway 58 traveling over the Tehachapi Mountains! Honestly, I'm more of a Fleetwood Mac's Greatest Hits kind of person. Many of their songs had the beat necessary for taking you mind off driving a great distance.

    Thanks, will check the 0-modem bit. I found that hooking up serial when using battery power can make the machine freeze until you pull the batteries. I don't use the terminal on Mac, but the built in serial tool of the Arduino IDE, or Processing, with the later you can actually program something around the serial communication, like a file transfer tool.

    This really is the ancestor of the modern synth. Okay, the filter was a bit weird (2 x formant filters, no LPF). But it did have envelopes, maybe primitive ones but hey this was 1939! I don't particularly like the sound of the instrument (its cheesier than a fondue party in my opinion) but i respect it and it's place in electronic music.
