Shut Up & Play: Sounds Of Erica Synths Steampipe
In the video, synthesist Davide Puxeddu shares an exploration of the ambient and cinematic side of the Erica Synths Steampipe.
The Erica Synths Steampipe is a physical modelling synthesizer, developed in collaboration with Dutch company 112.dB. It’s an 8-voice polyphonic instrument that can mimic the rich, organic sounds of wind and string instruments, using physical modeling.

The results of physical modeling synthesis can be very different than other types of synthesis, especially for creating realistic acoustic type sounds and sounds that get into ‘uncanny valley’ territory.
