I suppose I need to do an iOS/iPadOS list also…
Do it. 😎 Hehe. I know Atoms and Sculpture will be on that list.
Technics WSA 1 is half physical modeling...
Pianoteq, SWAM, Naada...
On the hardware side Meng Qi‘s Wingie 2 counts, I think.
Steampipe is based on the Reaktor ensemble but if you start to include Reaktor and Max, this list is going to get long.
Plasmonic for sure (Rhizomatic)
Reaktor and Max list would be ace as well though, epic 😅
If this includes all synths that include a physical modeling module (Karplus Strong, Waveguide, Formant Synthesis, Modal Resonator), then I would add the following two to the hardware section:
Arturia MicroFreak (probably MiniFreak as well)
Korg Volca Drum
The Korg Z1 is still a fantastic synth. Some hardware synth designs just tick all the ‘stand behind it and feel like a God’ boxes….
Respiro is a physical modeling softsynth targeted for use by wind controllers:

I thought Darwin was, but AI says the only gadget modeling synth is something called Strum Session, which is nothing I've ever seen. I am of absolute zero help. Sorry
I've still got mine. And a Prophecy.
I really should sell them both, give somebody new a chance to make them shine. Unlike me.
AAS Objeq. I have it on iOS but I think it originated on desktop.
Interesting! I wasn't aware of Objeq. It seems similar to Impaktor....and yes, Impaktor is also physical modeling! Add it to the list:)
Osmose
Great list!
I'd like to add Drambo, it's quite powerful in terms of physical modeling.
Anima Fi

Ex5 has vl engine
Arturia Pigments 6 has a new Modal/Physical Modelling engine.
Ooo I need to update!
