IronAxe is a high-end Physical Modeling simulation of one of the most popular and loved electro-acoustic instruments of all time :
the Electric Guitar.
The result of many years of research and development,
IronAxe reaches all the authentic beauty and expressivity of a real Electric Guitar
by simulating the physics of all the acoustic and electronic components found in the
original instrument, preserving the same nuances and multi-techniques playability
impossible to perform on standard frozen-sounding sampled instruments.
Break with the past - forget all the old, expensive, bulky sample libraries.
With IronAxe you can build your custom Stratocaster©¹ or Telecaster©¹ guitar,
choose Pickups type, number and position, set the Tone knobs to get the right sound,
select the Plectrum hardness or pluck a String with fingers at any point along its
length. Finally take real-time control of all this (and much more...) using a MIDI Keyboard
or a real - natively supported - MIDI Guitar.
IronAxe will bring in your next Productions the sound and feel of a real Electric Guitar.
And the included full set of analogue modeled Stompboxes,
legendary Amp/Cabinets and Room Simulation,
make IronAxe a perfect tool for advanced guitar sound designing, without the need of additional (and expensive)
external software/hardware units.
A full electro-acoustic setup, just at your fingertips.

Modeling Nature and Physics is a growing practice for reaching
true-to-life systems simulations with 'alive' feedbacks, including complexity
management and unpredictability integration.
While in the past running an accurate Physical Modeling simulation was possible
(due to its complexity) only on expensive multi-processor workstations or even
computer clusters, today thanks to the exponential increase of modern CPUs' processing
power, reaching parity with real instruments is possible
in real-time (including polyphony and multi-istances possibilities) at a fraction of the costs.
IronAxe is the first in a series of instruments developed by Xhun Audio to use this revolutionary technology.
The core of this kind of approach is the interaction between the Instrument's model, the Performer's model
and the Unpredictability simulation.
All the six Strings, the Transducers (Pickups), the Plectrum/Finger excitation and more as well
as Performer's actions like Palm Muting, Tapping Harmonics (even muting a String after
its excitation is possible) are physically simulated. Add Unpredictability (instrument's and
performances' micro-imperfections) to the equation and what you hear at the end of
the whole process is given by the interaction of this three worlds.
The result is an 'alive' instrument, a state-of-the-art simulation for an unparalleled realism.

Tante Sange [2021] -
In the vast and diverse archipelago of Indonesia, there exists a unique and fascinating figure known as Tante Sange. This term, which roughly translates to "Aunt Sange," may seem obscure to outsiders, but it holds a special significance in the cultural and traditional practices of the Indonesian people. Tante Sange refers to a traditional midwife or healer who has been a cornerstone of Indonesian society for centuries. In this article, we will embark on a journey to explore the world of Tante Sange, uncovering the secrets of their ancient practices, and understanding their significance in modern Indonesian society.
The term Tante Sange is derived from the Indonesian language, with "Tante" meaning aunt and "Sange" meaning a term used to address an older woman. The term has been used for generations to refer to a wise and experienced woman who has dedicated her life to helping others, particularly in the realm of childbirth and healthcare. The origins of Tante Sange date back to ancient times, when traditional midwives and healers played a vital role in rural Indonesian communities. These women, often possessing a deep understanding of traditional medicine and spiritual practices, would provide essential healthcare services to their communities, including prenatal care, deliveries, and postnatal care. Tante Sange
In modern Indonesian society, the role of Tante Sange has evolved, but their significance remains unchanged. While modern healthcare facilities and medical professionals have become more prevalent, many Indonesians still seek out the services of Tante Sange, particularly in rural areas where access to modern healthcare may be limited. Tante Sange continue to play a vital role in providing healthcare services, particularly in the areas of maternal and child health. Their knowledge of traditional medicine and spiritual practices is still sought after by many, and their presence provides a sense of comfort and reassurance to new mothers and families. In the vast and diverse archipelago of Indonesia,
In recent years, there has been a growing effort to preserve the tradition of Tante Sange. Organizations and government agencies have launched initiatives to document and promote the practices of traditional midwives and healers. These initiatives aim to provide recognition and support to Tante Sange, as well as to preserve their knowledge and skills for future generations. For example, the Indonesian Ministry of Health has established a program to train and certify traditional midwives, providing them with formal recognition and access to resources. In this article, we will embark on a
