Streamlined and supercharged with exciting new features
String Studio VS-3 trumps previous versions in a number of ways. This virtual synth boasts two independent timbers — either stacked or split — to create unique sounds and unforgettable performances. Two performance modulators per layer respond to user-defined MIDI controls, enabling real-time control over your sound. An expanded multi-effects module includes reverb, EQ, compression, and guitar amp modeling. String Studio VS-3’s upgraded filters can withstand extreme modulation while retaining a musical sound. An improved factory sound library offers consistent gain-staging, unity-gain effects, better dynamics, and compelling real-time sound transformation assignments, while an overhauled sound browser makes finding sounds easy. You also get support for the Scala scale format and reference note frequency tuning for microtonal music making.
Benefit from an endless array of sounds
At the heart of Applied Acoustics Systems’ String Studio VS-3 is its string oscillators. You get it all — strings, picks, bows, hammers, fingers, frets, and dampers — offering access to a vast array of aural textures. Your sounds can then be augmented with classic filters, along with an envelope, LFO, and more. Beyond that, three racks of studio-grade effects — including reverb, delay, distortion, phasing, chorus, flanging, EQ, compression, amp modeling, and tremolo — supply plenty of opportunities for advanced sonic sculpting.
Per-sound MIDI-controlled variations
While it’s a killer studio and composition tool, String Studio VS-3 is also a top-tier performance instrument. Two performance modulators per layer respond to user-defined MIDI controls, and every one of String Studio VS-3’s library sounds boast effect and morphing assignments that you can use in real time. At Sweetwater, we’ve found that these per-sound MIDI-controlled variations supply loads of enhanced expressivity and sonic dimension.
Loads of great sounds to get you started
AAS’s String Studio VS-3 comes loaded with everything you need for your productions. A team of 22 top sound designers crafted its 800+ presets, which have been optimized to ensure the best sound possible.
