String Studio VS-1
- String Modelling Synthesizer
The String is the Thing
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.
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
Finally,
String Studio offers premium performance
features, including keyboard modes, portamento, vibrato and legato functions
as well as a programmable pattern
arpeggiator. For optimal controller
integration, String Studio features a
complete set of MIDI features;
easy-to-use ‘MIDI Learn’ function for
user defined MIDI maps, min/max
parameter range settings, MIDI program
change and automation. A high quality
effect rack, featuring distortion,
chorus, delay and reverb completes the
package.

think String Studio is a great way to
bring Physical Modeling to the masses.
It gives you enough options to get
creative fast, but not so many you wind
up losing your girlfriend and your
social life!"

String Studio. It allows you
to make unreal, unworldly
