More details
At its core is a revolutionary dual-module XY pad, providing complete control over articulation, dynamics, and sequenced effects, allowing you to create complex arpeggiated patterns or evolving textures with unprecedented precision. Inspired by the award-winning Animation Station, the improved Step Animator lets you shape every note of your string sequences, from delicate pizzicato to soaring legato, creating performances that breathe naturally.
Arpology Strings offers a variety of articulations for each instrument—including sustain, staccato, spiccato, tremolo, and more—providing expressive depth for any musical style. Powered by a proprietary quad-core audio engine, it delivers a responsive and fluid sound that feels alive, whether it’s cinematic music, an ambient soundtrack, or an electronic composition.
