Description: String is a virtual instrument that simulates the beautiful sound of a polyphonic string synthesizer.
Down split oscillators
The authentic sound of the String comes from its faithful imitation of the split-down oscillator technology at the heart of the sumptuous ensemble synths of the 70s.
double layer
The string has two separate sound generating layers, each containing three phase-locked oscillators stopping at the 16′, 8′ and 4′ bands for level 1 and the 8′, 4′ and 2′ bands for level 2. Relative Volumes each Stop can be fine-tuned to reproduce a huge tonal range. Both layers have controllable note split points. Layers can be placed so that each one is controlled by a specific range on the keyboard, or even stacked on top of each other and stacked together.
Five sound modes
Each layer has its own sound mode: monophonic with last, low and high note priority, paraphonic or polyphonic. In polyphonic mode, each voice has its own Attack/Release AM envelope. In Paraphonic mode, all voices in the layer share a single monophonic Attack/Release amplitude envelope. In mono modes, one voice is played, which can be the lowest, highest, or last note pressed.
Five types of filters
Layers can be further formed using the mono filter section. There are several types of filters in this section; a pair of Highpass / Lowpass filters in series, an analog resonant filter in Lowpass, Bandpass or Highpass modes with various modulation options (including channel aftertouch) and a 9-band EQ. The Filter section can also be turned off completely.
Flexible Routing
Both layers can be routed separately to the Effects section. Level 1 can also be routed directly to a level 2 filter to create consistent filter tones.
effects
The String Chorus section is modeled on the bucket-brigade that characterizes the sound of classic ensemble synths. Choose from two different chorus algorithms for either an authentic ensemble tone (Type 1) or a more modern, thicker sound. (Type 2). The built-in stereo phaser can be used to add movement, depth and interest to string tones. The effects section is completed by two monophonic bucket-brigade delay modules with independent timing and feedback settings that can be tempo-synced and linked together into a single stereo delay.
Full MIDI training
All controls can be easily mapped to a hardware controller using the simplified MIDI Learn feature.
