It's lush and cheezy. I like to use it to write string parts. Then I'll go to a more realistic sound. If it sounds fine in the cheeze machine it will survive any mix mixup. Sometimes I dial it down and use it behind another synth or orchestral string section to add a little pizzazz or flipancy. Good, classic vsti.

Very good. Requires very little effort to get going. I am not a synth guy at all. Love the presets. Takes a lot of the work out of trying to fine tune it to get the right sound. I love it.

Very good option for free. Not quite the same sound as Solina but it souns very good. I used it a lot. Doesn't work on Logic x. Good job!. Any update for Logic X? Muy buena opción gratis. No es igual al Solina pero suena muy bien. Lo usé mucho. No funciona en Logic x. Buen trabajo! Alguna actualización para Logic X?

Nice keyboard plugin. It sounds excellent in the song I wanted it for. I think sometimes with "legacy" plugins the producer is taking a chance. It seems people expect to get a free Minimoog, or a free OBx. I've heard people wanting an 8 second time limit on "Mellotron" plugins. As long as you don't go in with unrealistic expectations you probably won't be disappointed. There are definitely bad plugins out there, but this isn't one of them, imho. It's not a Solina, but it's certainly in that category. As long as you're not expecting a free Arp you have a good chance of being satisfied.

Not all that impressed, I'm not typically a critical person but I was not a fan of this plug in. Thats ok though I will keep looking for the one that suits my needs.

Doesn't sound like strings. Not a disaster, but not an orchestra either.

Agreed, I'm trying to find a vst that actually kinda sounds like real strings.

This soft synth, for free, is a fine tool for my songs and I am grateful for the download. If I had $400 I would buy the Arturia V collection. But I'm broke and this synth, with all the adjustments available, is just what I needed. Thank you, guys !!! Peace, Adnok

One of my oldest plugins. Very special sound, organic and wide, although lacks enough volume. Its not a real string machine, but can add an emotional layer underneeth other tracks with a beautiful whashhhhfeel, thats unique. It was nice to see it in the list.

A great tool to have, especially effective with phasers and chorus added.

Has absoluteley _nothing_ to do with a real stringmachine whatsoever.

Preset 1 is a brilliant, lead synth sound, but the other presets are a bit pointless. Well worth downloading,though.

It's alright, though not as close to the classic sounds listed as I would prefer.
