Three basic sounds: "violin" ("violin"), alto ("viola") and cello ("cello"), which are in fact the same but spread over several octaves. Push buttons (1 per sound + 3 "bass" and 3 "treble") can combine the sounds of them.

SOUNDS

The String Melody only in the sounds of strings (as the name suggests), but that's what he does best and best. This is clearly in agreement that we can take full advantage of rich textures, moldable at will. Ideal for creating long tablecloths planing style Krautrock (Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze) and Space-Rock.

OVERALL OPINION

A synth highly specialized to buy only if you have in mind to reproduce the sounds described above.
I tried it and was fascinated by its sound, since I desperately looking for a way to acquire it. Indeed it is inexpensive (around 250 €, which is not seen the incredible sounds that can draw) but it is also quite rare. So I would say that if you are interested in the creation of layers of strings, moods, textures and you have the option to buy, do not hesitate because it is found and it is rather more than his price qualitatively
