From Our Research Team:The Sound of Classic String Machines in a Plug-in!Get the "string machine" tones of yesteryear with GForce's awesome Virtual String Machine. If you know a bit about music history, you know that the polyphonic string synthesizer was invented in 1970 by Ken Freeman. Ken realized that you could layer one note with another note that was detuned and just slightly modulated from itself, and you'd get a nice "chorused" sound out of it. As the electronic music world got wind of the sonic result, manufacturers set out to create a cool instrument that took advantage of this sound.With the GForce Virtual String Machine, you get a bunch of sounds from that particular genre and time in musical history. GForce used their technology to model a small mountain of both classic and rare string machines. Inside the Virtual String Machine, you'll find a vast repertoire of sounds - everything from the Eminent 310 and the Freeman String Symphonizer to the famous Logan String Melody, the Korg PE-2000, the Elka Rhapsody, the Solina, and more. But GForce, as usual, went ahead and put their own spin on things. Go ahead and dig into the sounds of the originals. Or take advantage of the Virtual String Machine's 2-layer option to build a hybrid instrument and enter uncharted musical territory! Whatever you do, you'll launch a range of sonic adventures - and get a great lesson in electronic music history - when you dive into the GForce Virtual String Machine.

by Mark from Gilbert, AZ.
I have been using this plugin since it came out which was at least a couple of years ago. What I love is the sampled sounds are so rich and authentic, but the interface really lets you tweak and modi... read more [+]fy sounds and layers to the point you can come up with some really usable variations and save those as your own presets. The other thing I really like (in comparison to some other sample based plugins) is the presets aren't distracted by crazy plugin effects that you end up having to undo. Instead, you get the purest of sound in the spirit of the original hardware synth and then you are free to do whatever you want from there. close [-]

Excellent plug-in. I used it in Garageband, but it took a couple hours to figure out how to use it by finding help with chat rooms I found with Google. My disappointment is you have to download the so... read more [+]ftware. Sweetwater makes it look like it comes in a packaged box, but you don't get a disk, or any instruction manual, so if you don't have a DSL connection beware! August 22, 2011 Music Background: Performer, Producer, Songwriter I would rather have a disk with the software than just a code for a download to get the software. Sweetwater needs to emphasize this is a download item and you get no disk! Also, need some instruction links for Garageband software users. close [-]
