Topic: What is actually modelled?

Forgive me if this seems a bit of an obvious question - but I wondered what is the difference between each PianoTeq model?

Is it just that each preset has different settings for resonance, size, tuning etc. etc. - or does each preset have unique features (and if so - what are they?).

Maybe it's all part of the trade secret of how the simulations work, - but it would be interesting to know how many different factors make up each 'model'. - Ie.whether its soundboard material, type of glue used, age etc.

Re: What is actually modelled?

Nothing obvious in the question, it is even rather complex. I have posted several comments on it that you can find in the following threads:

Let me know if you still need some more information.

Re: What is actually modelled?

Thanks for pointing me to these earlier threads.

It seems obvious from what I've read is that the complexities involved in each model are greater than I can possibly understand! - I don't think I can add any intelligent conversation in this regard, so I think I better leave it to the experts to get on with your fine work!

- I really didn't think it was possible to invent an equation for calculating French polish!
