Add a slice of vintage flavor to your productions with the EastWest String Machine, a virtual instrument plug-in that's inspired by vintage string machines such as the Arp Solina, Oberheim OBX, Roland RS-505, and Roland Jupiter 6. String Machine also features the classic ensemble chorus found on most vintage string synthesizers. The included ensemble chorus features three modes, each with distinctive characteristics.

The user interface is designed to emulate a classic string machine, adorned with tons of switches and sliders. The instrument is broken into four color-coded sections including string machines and pads (red), section strings (green), solo woodwinds and brass (teal), and choirs and soloist (orange). The software utilizes a dedicated Opus playback engine, which provides a searchable browser and the ability for users to customize their sounds. It is compatible with Mac and Windows. It runs as standalone software or operates in AU, VS2, VST3, or AAX formats.

Paying homage to the great vintage string synthesizers of the '60s, '70s, and '80s, EastWest's String Machine virtual instrument brings the past into the future. Produced by sound titans Doug Rogers and Nick Phoenix, String Machine includes samples from some of the greats—Arp Solina, Oberheim OBX, Roland RS-505, and Roland Jupiter 6—and allows you to instantly combine them with modern strings, brass, woodwinds, and vocals to create unique vintage vibes perfect for your next pop, rock, or hip-hop masterpiece.

String Machine's user interface takes inspiration from the design of vintage string machine synthesizers. From the chunky instrument switches adorned along the front panel, to the glide of envelope sliders, and the click of push buttons, String Machine's form and function is informed by the original hardware units.

String Machines were well known for their ensemble chorus effects, and the one included in String Machine features 3 modes, each with distinct characteristics. With effect emulations modeled from the Arp Solina, and Roland VP-330 hardware units, along with a Modern mode, our Ensemble Chorus effect delivers everything from vintage warmth and thickness, to modern transparency and dimension.

String Machine's use is flexible, owing to its hybrid design of electronic and acoustic instruments. It fits right at home in a variety of genres, electronic or otherwise, but especially suitable for genres heavy on retro nostalgia, like chillwave or pop. Any piece of music that needs a large ensemble string pad would benefit by using String Machine.

String Machine features 4 color-coded instrument sections, including string machines and pads (red), string sections (green), solo woodwinds and brass (teal), and choirs and solo vocals (orange). Each instrument section features a number of instruments and alternatives, giving you countless ways to combine them into a diverse range of timbres, and the ease of mixing the individual instrument sections together to create rich multilayered pads.

String Machine comes with 17 presets programmed by Nick Phoenix. These presets demonstrate the type of sounds possible with String Machine, but you are encouraged to use String Machine as it was intended—for creating your own presets.

Opus is the advanced player engine that powers the String Machine library. Fast and flexible, it comes with incredible features such as individual instrument auditioning and downloads, customized key switches, dozens of new MIDI tools and mixer effects, scalable retina GUI upgrades for legacy products, a powerful script language, and many more options that allow you to completely customize the sound of each instrument.
