Stringz is the vst equivalent of Marmite, you either love it or hate it.. The thump you speak of is something that I am aware of and is caused by the reliance on using a tuned reverb for part of the tone generation (a bit like kicking an old spring reverb).

You can dial it out a bit by use of the sliders in the section marked colour..
The higher tones of Stringz have, rightly, been critcised and it certainly works better in the lower registers, which won't help the original poster.. Adding reverb to the fx chain is almost essential to a more accurate emulation, and use of velocity control really helps to make it sound less plastic..

Having said that all the Krakli string instruments (etiquet, etEquet and StringZ) have had a signature sound which appeals to what I was looking for with a string synth. I have always been more interested in the string quartet sound rather than the sting ensemble sound..! happy hunting

There is a great violin VST called easy#quartet01 by easy#toolz.

You can get it from here although it looks like you have to register to download the file.

The author's website (select easy#classics) links back to the the plugindex.de website.

Hope this helps.

I defy a violin to sound like them!!

lol, registering in german is like a Point and Click Puzzle game, Hopefully I'll find the right combination soon enough.

I just tried this out of curiousity, and it starts up with an OK Pizz, then when I try to switch sounds, I get error messages about missing soundfonts?

NotTheCommonDose · Post by **NotTheCommonDose** » Wed May 31, 2006 4:33 am

I get the same errors, wierd.

bduffy · Post by **bduffy** » Wed May 31, 2006 4:39 am

Which probably means: just download some soundfonts!

NotTheCommonDose · Post by **NotTheCommonDose** » Wed May 31, 2006 4:44 am

all the violin soundfonts suck

bduffy · Post by **bduffy** » Wed May 31, 2006 4:47 am

Yeah, well, this was made from soundfonts, so you probably won't like it either.
