Next-generation sound synthesis
Physical Audio exists to push the boundaries of real-time physical modelling synthesis. We create audio plug-ins using pure numerical modelling of acoustic systems such as bars, strings, plates and connecting elements. These techniques produce physical models that have real acoustic qualities and dynamic expression, without using any samples or impulse responses.

Sept 2019 - We're at DAFx19 in Birmingham with a couple of new prototype instruments. Check out the video clips
here.
Apr 2019 - We have released Pro Tools versions of our plate and spring reverbs for macOS.
PA3 Derailer is a modular network synth built from physical models of two elements; a metal bar and a spring that can be used to connect bars together.
With 37 strike bars, 5 resonators and up to 81 connections, you can construct new nonlinear instruments.
PA3 is free to use in demo mode, a licence is £139.
Latest version: 2.1.3
PA1 is a reverb plug-in that uses our original and innovative modelling algorithm to recreate the classic sound of plate reverbs.
The dynamic control of physical parameters and frequency dependent decay gives unique and creative reverberation.
PA1 is free to use in demo mode, a licence is £69.
Latest version: 2.1.2
PA4 is the first reverb plug-in to numerically model the wave behaviour of helical springs.
With customisable perceptual parameters and frequency dependent decay, you can build your own creative spring designs.
PA4 is free to use in demo mode, a licence is £69.
Latest version: 1.1.3
