Say, while I’m at it, my friend Daniel (aka INTERRUPTOR) has just released one of the best and most powerful string synths/string machines I have ever played. Unlike most others, it is really a full-fledged synth, just geared for all manner of strings sounds from mellow to forceful ensemble.
It is called Night Flight, after a Bob Marley tune that features some synthesised string that he just had to capture for himself. I bought it immediately, and here’s partly why — he is offering this lovely VSTi for a mere $9 until April 15 to celebrate its release. If you have been using all freeware synths up to now (and, certainly, no shame in that!), well, here is your chance to say you use commercial synths as well. Hehe!
Seriously, though, it’s free for demo and I really do suggest you at least take it for a spin around your block. BTW, while you’re there, he is the maker of a couple of well-known classic plugins and, even more interesting, a killer FREE bass synth called TwinBass which I have relied on for ages to get various unique and mix-cutting bass sounds. So, you might want to grab that while you are there, also. Have a click around the site.
