String Modelling Synthesizer and Sound Banks.
String Studio VS-3
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.
What's New
We have streamlined String Studio and brought it to a whole new level - it will change your perspective on what a synthesizer can be.

Each and every sounds went under the eyes of all team members to exit with a consistent gain stage, unity-gain effects, better dynamics, and compelling real-time sound transformation assignments. This is our most perfected sound library to date.
