Friktion

Synthesizer
Reason Studios

Friktion Modeled Strings is a physical modeling synthesizer that recreates realistic string instrument sounds without samples. Unlike traditional sample-based instruments, Friktion models the actual vibration physics of strings, allowing expressive, real-time control over bow/pluck articulation, body resonance, and harmonic content. Its distinctive synthesis workflow combines physical accuracy with creative sound design possibilities that transcend real instruments.
