Krakli Software StringZ [Freeware]

Krakli StringZ 2 is one of the unsung hero’s when I comes to developing VST’s. When I saw they made the StringZ 2 I knew for a fact that I was going to download it. I really didn’t have anything to lose because it is completely free. StringZ 1 was the first version of this that came out and it was great, I didn’t think they would come out with a StringZ2 though, as soon as I got word on it I immediately downloaded it and installed it. The layout of StringZ2 is better than the first version and it is better than any other Freeware that I have seen. Krakli has really taken the time out to create a great interface, I cant believe they still made it for free though.


SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

It worked perfect on my dual core processor Windows 7 64 bit PC. The Ram was not an issue because Krakli StringZ 2 doesn’t not use a lot of CPU. Installing it was very quick just like installing the original version of the StringZ. I still have StringZ on my computer along
with Stringz2 and I use them both to this day. The software is very stable, there have been no issues installing or using.


OVERALL OPINION

StringsZ2 seems to have some more authentic sounding strings that sound less "synthy" than they did on the first version that came out a while back. That is a good thing and a bad thing because I do love to have synth sounding strings, that is the only reason I keep StringZ1 installed on my system , other wise I would have took it off when StringZ2 came out. I am happy though I downloaded this and knew I would love it before I downloaded it. If you are in need of some good strings why not download this freeware. The quality of this VST is outstanding, and its easy to use.

Installation is as usual: one of the Zip-file, then dragged into the components in the "VST" Cubase. The manual is clear, complete, except that the instrument is complex ...

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

2.8 GHz PC, sound card Hoontech.

No problem, the processor suffers little.

OVERALL OPINION

I have used three or four weeks this instrument, trs trs original and fun. This gives him the rub synthetic string sounds, for some relatively ralistes. The sound has a color mark trs, trs original. The instrument often shows trs expressive.

I really like the synth as it is unusual, pretty, and thundering trs. I am a big consumer (and producer) VST freeware, it is quickly input into my favorites ...

Ok

OVERALL OPINION

ATTENTION I SPEAK FOR THE VERSION 2!

I have a very long time without ever having tried ... In fact it is a real killer!

For me until I thought that there is sound "realistic" or sound "synthetic" ... What this little vsti introduced me, these are sounds that are not realistic but they seem to be produced by real instruments, not a synth ... The sounds are not very clean, very "textured" ... Two notes played one after the other at the same velocity sounds (sometimes very) differently ... One has the impression of having to do with acoustic instruments unidentified crosses improbable violas, sitar, flute and accordion, or even old-gurdy or spruce-des-Vosges .. . this frieze, it squeaks, scrapes it ... There's the bow, there's strings ...

For environments folk / trad, medieval, neo Gregorian ", Gothic, Baroque or even downright bizarre, very cinematic (the day you are asked to do the soundtrack for the remake of the name of the rose, it will do the hair ) ... supplements for more traditional sounds, it makes him incredibly.

Becoming one of my favorite vsti (frees and paid together) obviously must love ... I love me.

And a tip: try shots modulation wheel on a sustained note!
