String Studio VS-3 + PACKS

String Studio VS-3 + PACKS from Applied Acoustics Systems brings physical modelling to synthesizer sound design. Instead of conventional oscillators, it generates tones through virtual picks, bows and hammers interacting with modelled strings. The result is a flexible starting point for plucked parts, bowed textures, percussive melodies and experimental synth sounds. Shape the response with a soundboard, filters, envelope, LFO and effects, then stack two independent timbres for layered patches or split them across the keyboard. Two performance modulators per layer let you control assigned effects and sound transformations in real time via MIDI. A category-based browser helps you explore the library, including four signature sound packs containing 227 sounds from designers such as Richard Devine and Christian Laffitte. It suits producers and keyboard players who want expressive string-inspired tones with room to explore beyond familiar synth textures.
