Kaivo是一个半模块化的粒子+物理建模合成器，它将最新的物理建模学院派研究成果首次跟可插线的半模块化界面做了结果。从数学角度讲，它的有限差分时域 (FDTD) 模型让演奏者可以到达仪器内部并影响任何点的内部振动的效果。
一个物理建模顶得上一千个采样，每次一个模块被触发就会得到一点不一样的声音，其微妙的不同可以快速反应到后面其它的声音上。Kaivo有8个不同类型的谐振器，包括弦、钟和弹簧，每个都有自己复杂的声音响应。乐器的本体有四种，包括两种木质建模、一个金属板建模和一个鼓的框体，都是2D的建模。
Kaivo还可以做空间声音，每个谐振器、本体和grain都可以做独立的声像。
Kaivo支持Windows和macOS系统（支持Apple Silicon），可作为AU或VST乐器使用

Kaivo is a semi-modular software synthesizer that combines two powerful ways of making sound: granular synthesis and physical modeling.
Kaivo is a semi-modular software synthesizer that combines two powerful ways of making sound: granular synthesis and physical modeling.
Kaivo brings some of the latest academic research in physical modeling to a patchable package for the first time. Mathematically speaking, its finite difference time domain (FDTD) models let the player reach inside the instrument and affect the internal vibrations at any point. This allows for a fine degree of realistic detail, like the bridge rattles on a “gut string” model, for example. And while Kaivo is capable of making very realistic sounds, it is also designed to apply this subtlety to abstract creations.
Like a picture is sometimes worth 1000 words, a physical model is worth 1000 samples. Every time a model is triggered, it makes a slightly different sound due to the initial conditions when the sound starts. This subtle variety can quickly give a very lifelike quality to sounds that would be tedious to recreate with sampling. Kaivo has eight different types of tuned resonators, including strings, chimes and springs, each with its own complex response to sound. As for instrument bodies, there are four, including two wooden body models, a metal plate, and a frame drum—all true 2D models.
Expansive spatial sounds are possible in Kaivo, with independent panning available on grains, resonator, and body. Kaivo’s granulator feeds the models from a 2D map of sound with up to four channels. The body is a true 2D vibrating model of a physical object with left and right pickups that create a spatialized mix of all the frequencies flowing through it. Great for deep environments and filmic spaces.
