“What’s new

We have streamlined String Studio and brought it to a whole new level.

NEW Two-Voice Multitimbral

String Studio VS-3 combines two independent timbres—either stacked or split—to create performance-friendly, texture-full, and spacious sounds that are sure to make a good impression.

NEW Modulators

String Studio VS-3 now boasts two performance modulators per layer that respond to user-defined MIDI controls. Each and every sound features effect and morphing assignments that can be played in real time for enhanced expressivity and sonic dimension.

“A Sampling Powerhouse

Structure is a multi-timbral instrument with a built-in sample library and editor that enables you to combine, layer, and edit your samples. At its core, Structure has a powerful 128-level multi-timbral universal sound engine that can support up to 8-channel interleaved samples. With Structure, you can create complex, rich patches by blending together multiple samples and effects. Each patch can have an unlimited number of parts, and each part can consist of a single sample, multiple samples, a sub-patch, a MIDI processor, and audio and MIDI effects. All of these elements can be rearranged and tweaked for extensive sound experimentation.

“What’s Tassman?

Tassman is an extremly rich modular sound synthesis environment based on physical modeling. It is both an impressive collection of unique synths and effect processors, and a tightly integrated synthesis studio which lets you customize instruments in any way you wish or even create your own from scratch.

A huge collection of instruments

Choose from a library of 50 synths and more than 1000 presets created by top sound designers. These offer a near infinite range of creative possibilities, from highly realistic emulation of acoustic instruments, analog and FM synthesizers, loop processors to unique hybrid creation simply not possible by any other means.

A synthesizer or an effect processor

Tassman can be used both as a synthesizer and a real-time audio effect processor. For example, acoustic resonators can be used to add unique texture to your sound. Use Tassman as an effect plug-in in your favorite host application.

The benefits of physical modeling

Sound manipulation at the source core
Presets load in a flash
Super smooth dynamics—no velocity layers!
Small memory footprint
Installs in less than a minute”

TERA

“Explore new sound spaces with VirSyn TERA that go beyond the emulation of synthesizer legends. Use the power of analog and digital synthesis combined with new physical models and new user interface elements to navigate through 8- dimensional sound spaces exceeding the limits of traditional sound morphing. The well-designed algorithms and the economical modular structure provides you with a comparatively high voice yield. Wireless patching of modules combined with an intelligent modulation matrix simplifies the development of new synthesizers from scratch. Up to 16 modular Synthesizers can be used simultaneously, all having the same user interface helping you operate this multi- modular system without losing track. Distortion, echo/delay and chorus/flanger/phaser effects for every modular synthesizer help boosts the sound into outer space. VirSyn TERA gives your production an individual character with its unique fat sound. Precise timing even with an external sequencer lets you feel the rhythm. Produce complete productions with VirSyn TERA as a stand-alone tool. Inspire yourself from the newly-designed 64 step- sequencer, expanding the concept of the classic analog sequencer with variable rhythmic structures and chord sequences. Or use the sequencer for real-time transposition of keys to play never-before heard arpeggios. Arrange up to 256 sequences in the song editor to complete the composition. And the integrated mixing console, together with a room simulator and a global chorus effect, helps you in the final production step.

Tesla

“Back in 1856, a genius was born in Croatia. He was called Nikola Tesla. ‘Genius’ is a word too often bandied about these days but Tesla certainly was one and many of his maverick inventions, designs and patents influence our lives today.

He pioneered AC motors/generators, was dabbling with radio, radio control and X-ray, had run-ins with Thomas Edison who couldn’t see Tesla’s unique vision, put forward ideas and patents for the wireless transmission of electrical power and much, much more. A bit of a stubborn and awkward bugger by all accounts but a true visionary. whose work, as I say, still has ramifications in our modern world, our AC electrical power we all take for granted being just one of them.

But another of his inventions/patents was his ‘Tesla Coils’ in 1891.

“Synthesizer Workhorse with Stripes

Zebra is our wireless modular synthesizer. It combines many different types of synthesis with a powerful modulation engine. Imagine — you can create any additive, freehand or spline-based waveform you like, apply a vast selection of spectral effects, morph between those waves and send them through classic synth filters. Perhaps use that entire sound as modulator for an FM oscillator, or route it through a comb filter — the building block of physical modeling synthesis. All generator modules, all signal paths, all effects are stereo.
