physical modeling/additive synthesis

can anyone suggest particular synthesizers (software or hardware) that specialize in physical modeling or additive synthesis? i'm really looking for something flexible that can create a wide variety of sounds as opposed to something specific. i would appreciate the help.

What DAW do you use?

If you use Logic, check out Sculpture, ive heard nothing but good things from this and i cant wait to check it out myself soon.

Hardware wise, i know there are a couple of Korg and Yamaha pieces of kit out there, i dont know them of the top of my head though.

im sure there are loads of software/hardware instruments to check out, i recommend Google

i'm experimenting with cubase 4 for now.

btw, of course i used google, but i would prefer to grab opinions from the producers in this forum rather than company advertisements.

thanks for the info anyway.

Sculpture in logic is good
Although i myself havent really used it to its full potential

Chaemlon5000 for an additive synth
I only bought it last week and the presets are fantastic.

And heard nothing but good reviews in magazines

Reaktor has a cool one called Steampipe, if you're into wierd textures you can't go past Reaktor.
Theres one called Kubik by Concrete FX, I haven't had a chance to play with it yet, but it seems pretty cool, its old though.
