Sound Character and Preset Range

The 100 presets span several instrument families. You will find textured plucks, lush pads, rich basses, soulful guitars and keys. The developer describes the sounds as having a warm, acoustic character produced by String Studio's physical modeling engine.

The bank leans toward the rhythmic styles named in its design: Afrobeat, hip hop and trap, with some R&B influence. That makes it a natural fit for beat-driven melodies and chord beds in those genres.

Macros and Workflow in String Studio

Each preset is set up with macros so you can shape the sound without digging through the full synth architecture. Applied Acoustics Systems says the macros are designed to let you articulate each sound with finesse and detail.

Because the presets are loaded into String Studio VS-3, you can adjust them alongside the synth's own parameters, which suits producers who want to tweak a starting point rather than build patches from scratch.

Who It Is For

String It is best suited to producers working in Afrobeat, hip hop, trap and R&B who already use or are considering String Studio VS-3. It provides a ready set of instrument sounds for melodies, basses and chords in those styles, so you can move straight to arrangement.
