The String is the Thing

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 cutting edge
string model interacting with picks, bows, hammers, fingers, frets,
dampers, and soundboards. Through this direct approach, String Studio
delivers stunning guitars, basses, harps, clavinets, bowed
instruments, percussions as well as rich and animated tones that blend
the warmth, naturalness, and density of real-life with unique and
innovative timbres from yet unheard instruments.
