Music synthesizers are beginning to utilize physical models of musical instruments in their sound-generating algorithms. The thrust of this trend is to obtain maximum expressivity and sound quality by providing all of the responsiveness of natural musical instruments. This is happening at a time when most synthesizers are based on `sampling' of the acoustic waveform. While sample-playback instruments sound great on the notes that were recorded, they tend to lack the expressive range of natural instruments. Another potential application for physical models of sound production is in audio compression.
