Brand new Reason Studios Instrument : Friktion Strings
Looks like they updated Friktion. Please tell me they added more mod matrix slots!
ha ha ha of course they didn't!
I wonder what the update is, though?
\
I actually wanted to take a screenshot of the shop page that says "free" and post that. What a mean joke that would have been! Funny, but mean.

The release notes are on the product page. Just some minor fixes.
New in 1.0.2
- Fixed a bug where playing legato at max pitch could result in hanging notes
- Fixed a bug where sending negative CV to the mod wheel could cause issues
- Adjusted randomization of vibrato to be less pronounced
- Minor graphical fixes

Dang... I like this synth. I can get sooo close to a Hang/ pan drum with Friktion, using Pluck and the Metal resonator... But I don't have the modeling madskills to know if it's possible. It still sounds a little plucky rather than hit with a hand, and the ring-off isn't quite there.
Great job though, Reason!

thanks!
I'm sure it;s quite good thing for sound design (like fx\percussion\backgrounds etc), but speaking about naturality timbre, exactly for non percussion thing like various string stuff, there is quite feeling of lack of some energy in spectrum fill (what pretty good demonstrate in video above btw), and the parts that should make up the body are replaced by some kind of masking noise. As result, a bit weak feeling. (But not for percussion - this sound quite good).
But this opinion based on what i did see\hear, i did not tried demo yet.
As a tool for effects\percussion, I will definitely buy this sometime, but i think not for 99. But it just for my needs and based for i already have (aas\modart etc). If i would had no such kind of stuff, i perhaps would see benefit grab for current price.

Reason Studios has really stepped up their game with their incredible new physically modelled instrument Friktion.
Apart from some distant Venus Oo's everything you hear is Friktion and with me it's not even in particularly good hands. Pretty amazing stuff!
Nice touch with the red "rose".

Is this you? That was really fantastic work! Aside from the very beginning, if you had told me this was all real instruments, I would have 100% believed you.bxbrkrz wrote: ↑14 Sep 2020Reason Studios has really stepped up their game with their incredible new physically modelled instrument Friktion.

This tech is telling me the age of the multigig VST dinosaurs is near.

For those who want Friktion now, but also want a discount..... Reason Studios is giving a 15% off coupon if you go take their survey. You could use that coupon to get 15% off Friktion. I know it's not much, but it's something. viewtopic.php?f=4&p=518991#p518991

So i've playing with Friktion for a bit of time and started playing with my wind controller with it a couple of weeks ago.
IF you have a wind controller, like one of the EWI's or roland or even the Yamahas WX5 or 7, Friktion responds amazingly well to it.
In the case of the EWI, and for my playing style (i use the bend plates for the bends and the byte sensor for vibrato, routed to the mod wheel) i routed the articulation to breath control and leave the mod wheel routing unchanged on most sounds.
The result is amazing imho, but i'll let you judge for yourselves:

......... I’m in love Friktion is amazing.
Wow! I absolutely loved that song. Thank you so much for sharing it with us. <3 I could literally listen to hours of your playing.... so wonderful. It was a really nice, refreshing change of pace from the standard [insert electronic genre here] music I hear from most Reason users. Present company excluded, of course!mcatalao wrote: ↑28 Sep 2020So i've playing with Friktion for a bit of time and started playing with my wind controller with it a couple of weeks ago.

You're too kind. That was a little improv but if you want to hear more of my stuff, you can listen to my instrumental album in spotify:challism wrote: ↑03 Oct 2020

This is a great example of how to use Friktion. I think some people are confused about it, expecting to play a chord and get a "realistic strings" sound. They will be disappointed. Friktion is a performance focused instrument, as you demonstrate well here. I thought it was especially interesting that the "violin" and "erhu" in your example sound like wind instruments because you are playing a wind instrument. With a bit of sound design you could create a completely original "fantasy oboe" and so on.

I don't think they sound like wind instruments, but more like a Celtic way to play violin. Of course music is made of dynamics and some of the pressure and dynamics are of a flutist that and a violinist. But i don't think it loses its complete character.chaosroyale wrote: ↑03 Oct 2020I thought it was especially interesting that the "violin" and "erhu" in your example sound like wind instruments because you are playing a wind instrument.

Anyway If you listen to Scottish and Irish music the violin doubles wind instruments a lot, doing more or less the same grace notes, and that's what i was aiming for, more or less what Alasdair Frasier does in this song:
That being said, i would really like if RS made something similar to this for different types of wind instruments (imagine you could toggle between wood, brass, reed, and block types of instruments, define not only the format of the resonant body but also the size and matherial). Man, i'm drooling just thinking about it!!!
