String Studio VS-1
The String Studio VS-1 synthesizer swaps
the traditional oscillator, filter, and envelope pattern for real-life string
instrument components. At the core of String Studio lies a new cutting edge
string model interacting with picks, bows, hammers, fingers, frets, dampers, and
soundboards. Through this direct approach, String Studio delivers stunning
guitars, basses, harps, clavinets, bowed instruments, percussions as well as
rich and animated tones that blend the warmth, naturalness, and density of
real-life with unique and innovative timbres from yet unheard instruments.
The Unmistakable Feeling of Playing a Real
Instrument
Once again, AAS brings you the state-of-the-art in
physical modeling for unmatched sound quality and realism. Instead of relying on
samples and wavetables, String Studio generates sound on the fly using an
accurate model of the components and interactions involved in string
instruments. This elaborate synthesis engine responds dynamically depending on
your performance and how it is already vibrating, producing sound that is always
unique to the moment. As a result of its nature, String Studio captures the
richness and diversity of acoustic textures and reproduces the quirks,
subtleties, and responsiveness of real-life instruments. This is the key to
providing you with vibrant sound as well as the presence and expressivity of a
real instrument.
Physical Ergonomics
The String Studio interface is conveniently laid out
around components of a string instrument and the controls are directly related
to their physical properties. With just a limited number of intuitive
parameters, String Studio procures a remarkable range of sounds. Explore the
extensive collection of warm and organic sounds included with String Studio or
tweak and create exquisite textures simply not possible with other
synthesizers.
Live Extras
