Articulations
PowerStrings offers a diverse range of articulations, from smooth legato to crisp staccato, allowing you to achieve the perfect expression for any musical idea. You can quickly switch between them during a live performance using the low keys of your keyboard. You may also enable multiple articulations at the same time. PowerStrings offers independent pitch and volume per articulation, which is ideal for extremely easy layering. In addition, every articulation has access to its detailed envelope settings.
Get Creative
Strings don't have to sound like strings. The "Creative tab" opens the whole new world of sounds to you. You can make the strings sound like a synth, using Convolution. There's Frequency Modulation available, you can control harmonics and apply a nice Diffusion. It's crazy versatile and the results are a great blend between natural and artificial.
FX Section
Don't bother with effect plugins. To finalize the sound, PowerStrings has its own Reverb offering five types of rooms and halls, and an advanced delay. PowerStrings' effect section includes also a five band EQ, Motion FX, Distortion, Chorus, Modulation and LoFi. That should boost your creativity no matter how hard you try to resist it.
