About Loomer String

String is a virtual instrument that emulates the beautiful sound of the
polyphonic string synthesizer.

Divide-Down Oscillators

String's authentic tone comes from its accurate emulation of the
divide-down oscillator technology behind the lush ensemble synths of the 70s.

Dual Layer

String has two individual sound generating Layers, each housing three
phase-locked oscillator stops at 16', 8' and 4' ranges for Layer 1, and 8',
4', and 2' ranges for Layer 2. The relative volumes of each stop can be
finely tuned to produce an enormous range of timbres. Both Layers have
controllable note split points. Layers can be placed so that each is
controlled by a specific range on the keyboard, or even overlapped and
stacked together.

Five Voicing Modes

Each Layer has its own Voicing Mode from a choice of Monophonic with Last,
Low, and High Note Priorities, Paraphonic, and Polyphonic. In Polyphonic mode
each voice has its own Attack/Release amplitude modulation envelope. In
Paraphonic mode all voices within a Layer share a single monophonic
Attack/Release amplitude envelope. The Monophonic Modes produce a single
voice, which can be either the Lowest, Highest, or Last note pressed.

Five Filter Types

Layers can be further shaped using the monophonic Filter section. This
section has several Filter types; a Highpass / Lowpass pair of filters in
series, an analogue resonant filter in either Lowpass, Bandpass, or Highpass
modes with various modulation options (including Channel Aftertouch), and a
9-Band EQ. The Filter section can also be switched off altogether.

Flexible Routing

Both Layers can be individually routed into the Effects section. Layer 1
can also optionally be routed directly into Layer 2's Filter to produce
serial Filter tones.

Effects

String's Chorus section is modeled on the bucket-brigade device that
characterized the sound of the classic ensemble synths. Select from two
different Chorus algorithms for either an authentic Ensemble timbre (Type 1),
or a more modern, denser sound. (Type 2). A built-in stereo Phaser can be
used to add movement, depth, and interest to String timbres. The Effects
section is rounded off with two mono bucket-brigade device delay units with
independent time and feedback settings, which can be tempo synced, and linked
together into a single stereo delay.

Full MIDI Learn

All controls can be easily mapped to a hardware controller using the
simplified MIDI Learn feature.

With optimised audio algorithms that won't overload your processor,
rock-solid stability, and easy integration with any MIDI hardware controller,
String is ideal for live work. With a simple and intuitive interface,
flexible Bank and Program management, and total parameter automation, String
fits right into your studio environment.
