Professional-quality string samples at your fingertips
With the String Central virtual instrument plug-in, Nightfox Audio wants you to hear and feel real instruments — and synthesizers — in your mix. The sampling process utilizes top-tier recording equipment, professional session musicians, and encompasses the entire length of the neck, fret by fret, at three to five different velocities, so you can take the power of a professional recording studio wherever you can use String Central. All 13 of these textures can be used as individual instruments or blended to layer perfectly into your tracks. While there are global Pitch and Pan controls for the entire plug-in, each instrument has five effects available (Pan, Width, Input Delay, EQ, and Compression) and a customizable filter with 10 filter types to carve out the string tones you need.
All the amenities of a virtual space
With the additional features and effects Nightfox Audio put in String Central, you won’t need to leave the interface to add a little something extra to your strings. Every Nightfox Audio virtual instrument comes with an arpeggiator to inspire creative rhythms and sequences with Hold, Latch, and MIDI Thru controls and six patterns to choose from. Combine the arpeggiator with five onboard effects modules (Drive, Phaser, Chorus, Delay, and Reverb) to play with a sound that truly is yours. Important parameters in String Central are also compatible with DAW automation for a more seamless process for those engineers who love implementing an efficiently automated sequence and watching the faders do their thing. Finally, with over 70 presets ready to go as soon as you open String Central, you have plenty of starting points to branch out from.
