Key Features
The EastWest StringMachine is a virtual vintage string synthesizer with a modern twist. Designed with inspiration from classic string machines of the past, StringMachine features Solina, OBX, RS-505, and Jupiter 6-style samples. Combined with modern strings, brass, woodwind, and vocal instruments, the EastWest StringMachine is a powerful and flexible synthesizer suitable for a wide variety of applications.
In total, StringMachine features 18 instruments that can be blended together and transformed between each other via the included mod wheel. Sounds can also be edited through a standard 4-stage envelope per instrument section. Furthermore, StringMachine features four reverb presets, as well as chorus and ensemble chorus effects.
Owing to a hybrid design of electronic and acoustic instruments, StringMachine is perfect for various genres, electronic or otherwise, but especially for genres banking on retro nostalgia such as chillwave or pop. More broadly, StringMachine works in any mix that requires a large ensemble string pad.

Featuring a range of 18 powerful musical instruments, StringMachine offers a vintage feel with a modern twist. Take distinctive Solina, OBX, RS-505, and Jupiter 6-style sounds and combine them with modern strings, brass, woodwinds, and vocals. StringMachine is split into four colour-coded instrument sections, including string machines and pads (red), section strings (green), solo woodwinds and brass (teal), and choirs and soloists (orange). Each instrument section can layer with the rest, so you can easily produce rich multi-layered pads.
Each instrument section features volume controls to balance and mix against the other sections on StringMachine, envelopes to shape the volumes of an instrument over time, various buttons to engage various effects, and instrument and alternative switches to mix timbres in unique ways. Moreover, StringMachine features a range of global controls that affect all instrument sections including volume, pan, stereo field, filter, and reverb sends.
As well as global reverb sends, String Machine features classic chorus and ensemble chorus effects typical to vintage string machines. StringMachine's ensemble chorus features three modes, each boasting distinct characteristics. Modes include Solina and VP-330 style effects emulations and a 'Modern' mode. Enjoy a range of ensemble chorus effects from reaching from vintage warmth and thickness, to modern transparency and dimension.
