Don't knock it!

(that was a pun)

:woot:

No, seriously...I was an acoustics student...that is totally cool. And don't knock cowbell! If you only knew how complicated it was to do physical modeling of bells!! These people kick ass.

...and I'm a total geek...I know that.

seems like a fairly legit thing to spend time doing. "cowbells" have a long history of being used in various professional sound situtaions. Makes sense that they would be translated to the digital realm. Im hard pressed to buy the idea that these are the "first ever". If they are, it must be via some sort of verbal trickery in the way they describe the product. This is the first DSP unit EVER to model cowbells? :ermm:

There is a big difference between "model" and sample. It may very well be the first. I don't know of any others.

I am not kidding about how difficult this is...finite element analysis techniques are my friend!! Percussion in generally is very difficult, and usually is sampled and not modeled...except for the odd kettle drum sound.
