String Machine

String Machine by EastWest Sounds is a virtual instrument that revives the lush string synthesizers of the 60s, 70s, and 80s. It samples classic hardware like the Arp Solina, Oberheim OBX, Roland RS-505, and Jupiter 6, then lets you layer those vintage tones with modern strings, brass, woodwinds, and vocals. The interface mirrors the tactile feel of original units, with chunky switches, envelope sliders, and push buttons. A three-mode ensemble chorus delivers the signature shimmer of vintage string machines. Four color-coded sections—string machines and pads, string sections, solo woodwinds and brass, and choirs and vocals—make it easy to build rich, multi-layered pads or unique hybrid textures. Ideal for pop, rock, and hip-hop producers seeking nostalgic warmth with modern flexibility, String Machine suits hobbyists and professionals alike who want authentic retro character in their tracks.
