Hi,
I´ve just listened to a demo of Universal Audio´s plugin version of the Thermionic Culture Vulture. It sounds fantastic! Since I tried to make my own (hardware) version of the Culture Vulture, namely The Rude Tube, I asked myself, how the folks from UA capture the sound and behaviour of this beast and put it in such a nice plugin? I´ve heard of the term "Composite Object Sound Modeling" used by Roland and of course the system used by Yamaha.
I´m an absolute noob in terms of programming, but would just like to know, if there is a kind of public software, maybe a kind of standard, where people could do their own plugins? Or does each company go their own way? I might be a bit naive, but basicly you draw a kind of schematic of the original hardware and compile it to a VST/AU plugin. No? Please enlight me.
Please, excuse my ignorance. I can imagine that it is much harder than that.
regards
Bernd
