This adds a wonderful smooth period-appropriate classiness to your string sections, letting them breathe. To put the icing on the cake, we have the Icon Reverb – convolved from our Lexicon PCM70. With Vintage all the way clockwise, the sound is dustily aged and full of crusty oxide, with background crackle and hiss breaking through. But with Vintage at anywhere past the 12 o’clock position, the sound becomes unstable the clean acoustic string samples are blended with, and then replaced by, vintage tape-based string recordings – while the electronic strings become uneven and compressed and start to lose both high- and low-frequency elements. With Vintage at its minimum, you can use the other controls to sculpt a superb modern string section combining acoustic realism with synth expanse – or stick to one or the other for more precise sounds. Vintage, meanwhile, is an unmissable chunky knob in its own little area, and cranking this changes the whole character of the instrument – from clean and clear through to dusty, crusty and erratic, taking in all manner of battered instability along the way. Complexity dials in further electronic string components, adding two levels of Jupiter 6 supersaw to the initial Logan String Melody II waves for a thicker, warmer sound (which you can take still further by detuning it a little). Where things get more interesting, though, is with the two signature controls: Complexity and Vintage. You’ve also got a fully-functional LFO, control over tube saturation, and a gentle low-pass filter to adjust the tone of your hybrid string section. You blend the two to your own taste using the Levels controls in the centre of the panel. String synths are one of our favourite musical machines – and Vintage Strings is a homage to them.Īt its core, Vintage Strings has both acoustic real-world string samples and electric string synth oscillators. Of course, not every rock star is in the position to hire the London Philharmonic to score their album hence the rise of the string synth – which replaces dozens of individual players with dozens of detuned oscillators to approximate the same richness of result. Strings have a unique ability to bring warmth and richness to music: there’s something about dozens of individual players melding into one sweeping soundscape that just seems to lift the hearts of the listeners.
