GForce's Quintessential Software String Synthesizer

GForce has officially taken its popular Virtual String Machine plug-in to a fourth level — and it's everything Sweetwater producers have come to expect in a professional-level string-based software synthesizer. Supplying a handful of iconic sounds from historic string machines and a bevy of exciting new upgrades, Virtual String Machine IV is an exceptional foundational tool for projects of any genre, with ample EQ, LFO, and other tonal controls to easily pin down the perfect sound for your mix. Plus, Virtual String Machine IV is backward compatible with Virtual String Machine 3 presets; in addition to the synth's 1,900+ presets, you can even transfer your creations from versions past! Whether you're a fan of vintage-sounding analog string warmth or need a complex and powerful string sound to complement your next creation, GForce's Virtual String Machine IV marks a worthy addition to your plug-in arsenal.

Harness legendary string-based sonics

Synthesized strings have been the backbone of the music industry's hits since day one. With over 46 vintage string machine models to choose from, implementing these legendary sounds into your mix is second nature. Over 9.5Gb of data provides near-endless sound sample combinations with the help of Virtual String Machine's dual-layer selection engine. From there, iconic string tones can further be manipulated via aging parameters, filters, a 3-band EQ, onboard effects, and much more.

Designed with the modern producer in mind

Virtual String Machine IV's interface was designed with the intent to provide producers with a streamlined way to conjure up their favorite string sounds in seconds. Thanks to its updated scalable UI, smart undo, redo, copy, and paste features, and onboard poly pitch bend control, servicing a familiar analog layout is friendly to any level producer and their current workflow. Likewise, programmable MIDI CC response via MIDI learn, a 49-note range, and velocity recognition performs well with several pre-existing MIDI setups. Finalized with an enhanced patch browser and over 1,900 built-in factory presets, Sweetwater synthesists have had no problem coming up with quick string inspiration.
