Introduction
String Machines 2
Warm Vintage Sounds Revived
60 string synthesizers spanning 50+ years of design
innovation from around the globe have been carefully
collected, restored and recorded to create one remarkable
instrument: String Machines 2. A multi-year effort, String
Machines 2 greatly expands on the original, including many
rare sounds and machines exclusive to this collection as well
as a completely updated architecture and interface. Now you
can create stunning keys, pads, brass, bass, voices, piano
sounds and more with the warm analog tones of vintage string
synths. 355 hand-crafted presets have been designed to get
you started, built on a foundation of 46,311 samples, while a
versatile dual-layer architecture lets you easily combine the
sounds of multiple machines together to create new hybrids
with creative freedom.
6 years ago we released String Machines, which captured 11
of the most iconic of these synths. Now we’re back and we’ve
added 51 more machines to the list. Explore classics like the
Solina, Freemand String Symphonizer and Elka Rhapsody as
well as extremely rare models including the Yamaha SK-50D,
Logan Vocalist, Jen SM2007 and more. Many of these
machines were very hard to track down and most of them
came to us in non-working condition, needing to undergo
serious repair and restoration. The result was well worth the
effort, as String Machines 2 has grown into both an important
archive and an inspiring instrument.
Minimum System Requirements
• UVI Workstation 3+ or Falcon 1.5+
• 17GB of disk space
