GForce Software has released the much anticipated Virtual String Machine and re-launched their web site with a nice new design to coincide with this new release.
For Virtual String Machine (VSM) Gforce extensively multi-sampled 17 classic and rare string machines to bring you the ultimate in classic string and pad sounds. With over 2.5GB of data and 700+ totally authentic patches, VSM may be the only vintage string machine collection you'll ever need.
VSM is a highly intuitive yet eminently powerful virtual string machine that captures many of the sounds from this genre of instruments. These range from the first commercial string ensembles (Eminent 310 & Freeman String Symphonizer) through to the highly lauded Solina, Elka Rhapsody, Logan String Melody, Korg PE2000 and many more.
With VSM you can recreate all of those golden string machine tones from yesteryear – and with the comprehensive feature set, plus a two-layer option, it's now possible to create your own hybrid instruments too.
And VSM is not 'just' about recreating authentic sounds. As usual GForce have gone one step further and added elements that enable VSM to create totally new string experiences from the original hardware units. With a new sample playback engine, G-Sampler, plus GForce's very own phaser and additional ensemble units all included, VSM takes the classic instruments on entirely new sonic journeys, and ones that were simply not possible with the original hardware units.
