"Physical Modeling
By the early 1990s the established traditional methods of
subtractive, additive, and FM audio synthesis were well-represented
in a variety of hardware implementations. Sound samplers were

advancing towards realtime audio synthesis and sample playback.
Synthesizer manufacturers began to explore new approaches to audio
synthesis, eventually finding marketable results in vector
synthesis, granular synthesis, and physical modeling.

traditional synthesis methods. Instead of setting values for
waveforms, filters, and amplifiers physical modeling presents the
user with parameters based on the material and structural
characteristics of an instrument."
