In this paper we describe the design and implementation of the PHYSMISM: an interface for exploring the possibilities for improving the creative use of physical modelling sound synthesis.The PHYSMISM is implemented in a software and hardware version. Moreover, four different physical modelling techniques are implemented, to explore the implications of using and combining different techniques.In order to evaluate the creative use of physical models, a test was performed using 11 experienced musicians as test subjects. Results show that the capability of combining the physical models and the use of a physical interface engaged the musicians in creative exploration of physical models.
