Doodads & Doohickeys - A Guide to Theory-Crafting & Modelling a Fictional Acoustic Instrument - Syl Morrison - ADC 2025
---
Physical modelling is a theory-dense and complex area of plugin design, which tries its utmost to remain faithful to the real-world mechanics of the modelled instrument. But what if that instrument doesn't exist?
This talk aims to explore this concept, prioritising a ""this sounds fun"" approach, rather than a ""this is accurate and actually real maths"" approach, in a hand-wavy, conversational and engaging way. Its purpose is less to give practical modelling advice, and more to encourage experimentation, and to celebrate the art of exploring bizarre-fever-dream plugin ideas.
