AAS String Studio VS-1  Reply with quote  

Hi all,

if you are inerested in a truly remarkable synth, try Applied Acoustic Systems' String Studio VS-1, a software synthesizer. I find it especially interesting for guitarists (you can drive it via pitch-to-midi converter). I quote from the manufacturesr's page:

quote:
The String Studio 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.


Stunning sounds indeed! And whats more, in many cases the original "natural source" sound is preserved, so it sounds as if you actually did some weird things to a violin or a piano or a guitar ...

Be warned: This is not an easy synth, you have to understand how the sounds are created (the manual is excellent).

Additionally, it needs a lot of CPU time, you need a fairly fast PC with lots of memory to use it. But then, you can always sample the sounds
;)

Have fun!
Alex

faglork, good to see ya.

Wow, that synth sounds really cool, I'd love to hear it, wonder if there are any samples online?

I've been playing with my Radius, it's obviously totally different beast, but lots of fun...

Oooops, I forgot to give the link ... here it is:

Scroll down to get some demo sounds.

There is a demo version available, although quite limited, but anyway:

I will record some samples an post them.


Have Fun!
