here's an mp3 of string theory, run through vintage warmer, and with a bunch of volume correction. it gets pretty noisy and inconsistant with the higher notes but its the closest i've been able to get so far, without using samples.

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

I gave up trying to register there months ago, maybe longer.

Hi guys, here's a link to the demo of the german violin thing http://www.vst-archiv.de/index.php?temp ... d&file=746

At plugindex.de there are two ways to register: a free (for Forum use only and a 25 Euro registration which allows you to download some nice plugin such as these http://www.plugindex.de/index.php?templ ... kel&id=110.
The link to register is here http://www.plugindex.de/index.php?templ ... aq&faid=10: left is free, right is 25 Euro/year just click on the "Abo Mitglied werden"-Box and you can paypal 25 Bucks to get member (=Abo-Miglied)

Coming back to "where can I get this fuxxing german violin??!!"

It's totally confusing, even for germans

Go here http://easytoolz.oyla.de/cgi-bin/hpm_homepage.cgi
click "easy#classics"
click "easy#quartet 01 FREEWARE" (below the picture)
you'll be directed to plugindex
click download and... voilá download should start!

On the easy-toolz side check out the other plug's from that guy. I don't use them but maybe you'll like them

Hope I could help!

string theory violin demo

That was the one I tried to remember - I somehow get always confused with odo and ugo and oli and ian and whatnot

GREAT VSTi in any case, thank you!

In much the same way that SE synths all sound the same, actually we are all the same person!

you won't find hardly something convincing as a commercial product, not to speak of a freeware product. it's like asking for a new porsche with a budget of 2,50 bucks. wrong question. strings are the most difficult instruments to reproduce. brass or percussive sounds like piano or guitar, no prob...but orchestral strings....definitely not for free.

well, if the engine behind this example ever exist as a vst, it will be free:

I think that sometimes people forget that what they think of as a 'Strings instrument' is in reality dozens of individual instruments each with their own characteristics and nuances varying on a note by note basis.. Even Accoustic piano is devilishly hard to replicate convincingly and that only has 2 or 3 strings per note..!

that niceness is the problem, everyone's so cool, making great instruments. So if you want to stick out from the competition, start behaving like an asshole

We will surely get convincing string instruments in + couple of years. IMO the guitars are already pretty good, violin modelling requires some more juice... but quadcores will be normal in a while.

@ mdsp, sounding good!

very odd demo..sounds like a bad string soundfont player with a tarncegate.

oops, too bad.

this is just the bow/string sound without the body of the instrument so I reckon it's a bit dry, but I found it not that bad. nothing to do with soundfonts and trancegate though.

cos you know if you don't, it doesn't get used.

he's a bit demented about some 'gypsy violin' concept.
