String Synthesis with Friktion String Modelling Synth in Reason
He was looking too hard to fault the engine, imho.
Comparing it to other solo instruments is fine. With string ensembles? Why?
Maybe he's a violinist, that's why he was bit more critical?
Maybe he could see were that tech could be 5 years from now.
He said he is afraid it could become a very recognizable synth, like the DX7's presets.
I used to own a DX7. I wish I could play around with FM the way I can with Friktion (or PX7) now. A sweet, fun adventure.

I didn’t watch the video so this isn’t a comment to that but to the idea that something doesn't sound like the original.
Nothing will truly sound like and have the dexterity of a cellist but a competent cellist playing. An individual sample may sound accurate but how about an entire composition by a non-cellist? There will always be faults. To keep comparing is kind of an armchair elitist exercise without value.
The value of something like Friktion is more one of being a springboard for people who have never touched (and most likely will never touch) a cello, violin, erhu, whatever. Their potential for creativity and inspiration has been enhanced in an entirely new way.
