From Our Research Team:

A New Model of String Realism!

Applied Acoustics Systems' new String Studio delivers stunning guitars, basses, harps, clavinet, bowed instruments, and percussion, as well as rich and animated tones that blend the warm organic density of real-life with unique and innovative timbres from “imaginary” instruments.



Applied Acoustics Systems String Studio at a Glance:

• New modeling concept replaces traditional synth parameters
  
• Replicates the true feel of playing an acoustic instrument
  
• Intuitive interface built around stringed instrument components
  
• Full MIDI controller functions for live or studio playing

New modeling concept replaces traditional synth parameters
The String Studio synthesizer replaces the traditional oscillator, filter, and envelope stage with 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.

Replicates the true feel of playing an acoustic 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 sounds on the fly using accurate modeling of the various acoustic components involved in recreating stringed instruments, calculating their interactions as well as the control signals it receives as you play. Thanks to this approach, String Studio captures the richness and diversity of acoustic textures and reproduces the quirks, subtleties and responsiveness of real-life instruments resulting in sounds with remarkable liveliness.

Intuitive interface built around stringed instrument components
The String Studio interface is conveniently laid out around components of a stringed instrument and the controls are directly related to their physical properties. With just a limited number of intuitive parameters, String Studio is capable of 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.

Full MIDI controller functions for live or studio playing
String Studio is equipped with premium performance features, including keyboard modes, portamento, vibrato and legato functions, and a programmable pattern arpeggiator. For optimal performance with controllers, String Studio features a complete set of MIDI features, including an 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.
