Strings Dream Synthesizer is a powerful virtual instrument designed to recreate the rich, analogue pads of classic string machines from synthesizer history, including the iconic Eminent Solina and its contemporaries. Unlike sample-based plugins, it uses a true virtual analogue octave divider emulation to generate its sounds in real time, delivering authentic textures without relying on pre-recorded samples. The synthesizer offers 43 voices of full polyphony alongside monophonic legato bass voices, combining vintage-style audio effects with modern performance flexibility for an engaging playing experience.
The instrument features a redesigned sound engine with innovative controls such as waveshape morphing and a paraphonic mode that introduces distinct timbral characteristics through analogue pulsed noise emulation. Its filters and voice stops have been carefully refined to enhance brass and horn sounds, while the signature 'Ensemble' chorus effect faithfully models vintage bucket-brigade device behavior for warm, transparent modulation. Additional effects include a multi-stage phaser inspired by classic electronic music pads and a versatile reverb algorithm capable of producing extended resonances reminiscent of spring reverbs.
Strings Dream Synthesizer also includes a bonus analogue drum kit featuring authentic LoFi drum machine sounds from the late seventies, playable via the upper MIDI key range. The user interface is intuitive and customizable, with three included skins and support for user-made designs. Key features like MIDI learn, adjustable envelopes, and selectable polyphonic modes allow precise control over sound shaping. This synthesizer is ideal for musicians seeking vintage string machine tones with modern enhancements, delivered in a free, donationware VST2 64-bit format for Windows.
