These were sampled and processed, and turned into plucks, stabs, pads, and other sounds suited to modern production.

They also captured a variety of vintage synths which were known for their string sounds. In creating ANALOG STRINGS, Output deeply sampled a 60-piece string orchestra, a 22-piece orchestra, a handful of soloists, as well as some odds and ends like scratching a violin with the wrong side of a bow at the BMC Hall in Budapest. SCOREcast loved the sound of ANALOG STRINGS, Dubspot found it unique and cutting-edge, and Dancing Astronaut thought it was “jaw-dropping.”

Output’s ANALOG STRINGS promises to be a virtual instrument in which you can take various vintage synth string sounds, full orchestral sounds, and a variety of unique sound design elements to come up with something out of the ordinary.
