Product Overview

Preparation 2 puts you in a virtual world of augmented strings, constructed with our latest physical modelling techniques.
Two strings collide with a rattle and a dynamic fret, their reactions delivering a rich palette of acoustic timbres.
The acoustic model’s properties are tailored by you, generating a depth of sounds from unique instruments to experimental soundscapes.

Features

  • Physical model of 2 strings/bars with a dynamic fret and rattle.
  • Multiple excitations with custom pluck designer, bowing and sidechain audio.
  • 2 x LFOs, keyboard and velocity modulation.
  • Full FX rack with EQ, compressor, shaping, delay and reverb.
  • MPE compatible with custom control setup.
  • 160+ presets.
  • Standard AU/VST3/AAX formats for Windows and macOS.

Dynamic Fret and Rattle

Physical Audio - Preparation 2 - Dynamic Fret and Rattle

The rattle element sits across the 2 strings and transfers energy from collisions on one end to the other. This has a variable mass on each end, as well as stiffness, gap and edge parameters. The fret is underneath the strings and each one can hit it depending on the amplitude of vibration and the distance between them.

Modulation and FX

Physical Audio - Preparation 2 - Modulation and FX

Shape your sound with fully fledged Equalizer, Compressor, Mods, Shaper, and Delay/Reverb effects, five modules that can be re-ordered then programmed deeper in their own tab. Preparation 2’s EQ, Distortion, Drive, Fuzz, Phaser, Tremolo and Wah effects come from Orastron’s Brickworks. There are also 2 LFOs, and keyboard and velocity modulation to customise the response of the model and the FX parameters.

Nonlinear physical modelling

Physical Audio - Preparation 2 - Nonlinear physical modelling

The nonlinear strings can be excited with a customisable pluck, allowing you to choose different impulses for the minimum and maximum Note-On velocity. Or use the scrape of a virtual bow, with bowing force controlled by the Pitch bend wheel and position by the Mod wheel.

Physical modelling of prepared strings

Physical Audio - Preparation 2 - Physical modelling of prepared strings

Preparation is based on mathematical modelling of 3 basic elements; strings which can be configured as bars, a rattle that joins strings together, and a dynamic fret. Each voice contains a pair of strings which are excited with either a customisable pluck, a bow, or side-chained audio. The acoustic model’s properties are tailored by you, generating a range of sounds from unique instruments to experimental soundscapes. Preparation uses our latest research into collision modelling and fast solver techniques.
