Easy Strings

Easy Strings is a free VST/VST3 & AU instrument plugin for DAWs on Windows and macOS.

This ROMpler features samples recorded from violin, viola, and cello ensembles. There's no in-depth sampling, hence only one velocity layer. The goal was to create an easy-to-use and small instrument that can be used to create simple end effective melodies in EDM genres. For elaborate scores, please check other instruments, there are plenty of free and paid alternatives.

Easy Strings is split into 3 pages: Violin, Viola, and Cello. Each page brings 4 playing techniques of the respective instrument: Sustain Vibrato, Tremolo, Pizzicato, and Spiccato - resulting in 12 presets in total. Sustain Vibrato and Tremolo are looped for continuous play.

The GUI sports typical controls and effects including ADSR envelope, global gain & panning, reverb, delay, chorus, lofi module.
