Firefly Strings

A heavily processed string instrument.

ByEoin O'Dowd

The story

The sample i started with was from another pack i uploaded a while back of a single bowed violin. The sample was then processed in form and slowed down, from here i then used the auto sample plugin in logic pro to render out the exs instrument file. The samples and maps were imported into decent sampler and from here an initial .dspreset file was created.

    These are just "OMG get out of my way" drone sounds, perfect for when you need your pad to be a 9 foot thick mattress.

  • String drones from hell!

    This is one of the most interesting instruments I've encountered on PB lately. With the size not even reaching 90MB, I was not expecting such a big and detailed sound. And that sound very textured, aggressive and with a big cinematic feel. The lows are deep and hell-like drones, the highs are crisp and intimate, and the mids just give you the chills.

    The minimal yet beautifully designed GUI is a perfect match, and it's not only about looks. The Attach and Release settigns are always good to have, the included Reverb is awesome, and you also get to have a chorus knob that enhances the textures, and two fliters (high and low pass).

    It is simply an incredible instrument, it is offered completely for free through DecentSampler, AND it comes in a ridiculously small size! Highly recommended, hands down!

  • Great Sound

    hmmmmm lets see ..... what am I in the mood for today ?
    Well if I want Sci-fi or Horror ( or Sci-fi Horror ) or Drama ..or just about anything else , I have it with these strings. Great sounding stuff.
    I played with the T1 and T2 controls for about a half an hour. There is some really good variations to make with those. The interface is such a breeze
    They are going to get used
    THANK YOU
