Richman: Hybrid Plucked String Synthesizer by Krakli
Richman2 by Krakli is a unique virtual instrument designed to create realistic and expressive sounds of plucked or struck string instruments. This plugin does not use samples, but relies on powerful hybrid synthesis to give your music organic life and unique timbres.
The Heart of the Plugin: Hybrid Synthesis
At the core of Richman2 lies an innovative combination of physical modeling and FM synthesis. Physical modeling mimics the natural behavior of strings and resonators, giving the sound authenticity and realism. FM synthesis, in turn, allows you to shape a rich harmonic spectrum, adding complexity and uniqueness to timbres. The synergy of these two approaches allows you to create live, “breathing” sounds that respond to your playing and have amazing expressiveness. This makes it possible to go beyond simple imitations and create completely new, original soundscapes, while maintaining the naturalness of the sound.
