Note: This is an upgrade for owners of String Studio VS-1 or String Studio VS-1. The full version of String Studio VS-3 is also available.
String Studio VS-3 is a multitimbral synthesizer in which a collection of unique string oscillators replaces the traditional VCOs, DCOs, and operators as the main sound source. Consisting of picks, bows, and hammers interacting with a modelled string, these oscillators offer a special blend of modern and creative synthesis. Augmented with a soundboard, classic filters, an envelope generator, an LFO, and studio-quality effects, String Studio VS-3 proposes a brand-new path in the quest for tone.
