Applied Acoustics Systems releases String Studio VS-1

Applied Acoustics Systems has released their new String Studio VS-1 synthesizer for Mac OS X and Windows.

The String Studio synthesizer swaps the traditional oscillator, filter, and envelope pattern for real-life string instrument components. At the core of String Studio lies a new, physical model of strings interacting with picks, bows, hammers, fingers, frets, dampers, and soundboards. Through this direct approach, String Studio delivers "stunning" guitars, basses, harps, clavinets, bowed instruments as well as rich and animated tones that blend the warmth, naturalness, and density of real-life with unique and innovative timbres from other-worldly instruments.

String Studio is available now for both the Windows and Mac OS X at a suggested retail price of US$249. String Studio is available as a standalone application and supports DXi, VST, Audio Units and RTAS (Mac OS X only) plug-in formats.

Demo versions are available.
