There might be a point there. So it would depend on the drum kit components. Is it more complex to model a piano than a single tom ? And then a cymbal ? I would tend to think that a cymbal is quite complex. So yes, CPU usage might very well be way up there. At least without optimization. A modelling though, could respond to any input from an interface. There could be resource decoupling between the model generation and the input stage. > [...] one drum, let alone a kit or percusion section.

See my reply to Robin about the Wavedrum I have (1). If a model is able to respond accordingly to any input thrown at it, then the interface already exists to allow for instance tapping of nails to brushes to mallets to drum sticks to pressure on a electronic drum interface. How far away can this be from interfacing to physical modelling of drums as developed by u-he ? How far away to develop a full-fledged drum *instrument* free of samples, reacting to a wide range of nuances from players ? > pianoteq is a wonderful sounding instrument.

It is also a bit heard in the link below.
