The Reed Physical Model:
The following diagram describes the Fusion’s Reed Model. In it, you’ll
notice three distinct groups of parameters including “Breath,” “Reed,”
and “Bore.” Each group makes up a different portion of the physical
model and these groups interact with one another to create the overall
sound that you hear.
The “Breath” parameters model the performer blowing into the
instrument, while the “Reed” parameters model the mouthpiece of the
instrument that is being played. Finally, the “Bore” parameter models
the body of the instrument.
Why Can’t I Hear Anything?
Since Physical Modeling creates a
mathematical model of a “real world”
instrument, it is possible to set your
Synth/Model menu settings in a way where
no sound or unmusical tones (or noise) will
be synthesized. This is analogous to either
playing a physical instrument incorrectly or
building an instrument that is incapable of
creating musical tones. If you adjust a
parameter and your program doesn’t make
any sound (or you only hear strange noises
and tones), this is not an error. You’ve
probably just pushed the physical model into
unmusical territories. If this happens, scale
back the parameter you were editing until
you start hearing musical tones again.
