Preparation 2

Preparation 2 by Physical Audio is a physical modelling instrument that builds a virtual world of augmented strings. Each voice pairs two strings, excited by a customisable pluck, a bow, or side-chained audio, while a dynamic rattle and fret add rich collision-based timbres. From unique acoustic instruments to experimental soundscapes, the model responds expressively to your playing. Shape the rattle’s mass, stiffness, gap and edge, and let the fret interact with string vibration. Two LFOs, keyboard and velocity modulation, plus a reorderable multi-FX chain (EQ, compressor, mods, shaper, delay/reverb) give you deep control. MPE and MTS-ESP micro tuning support make it equally suited to expressive performance and microtonal exploration. Ideal for hobby producers and sound designers seeking organic, evolving textures in FL Studio, Ableton or Logic.
