Interestingly, I'm long time user of Pianoteq, and other physically modeled instruments like SWAM. In my eyes, pianoteq has somewhat plateaued in terms of realism in recent years, and still not comparable to sampled piano in the most critical listening, and other instruments still have long way to go. And these are traditionally instruments. For more avant-garde, musik-concrete and foley style sounds, physical modeling is still almost unexplored at all. There is major limitation in compute, and it will remain this way unless we go in the AI accelerated approach.
