Where tradition meets innovation
Low End Strings harnesses the power of deep frequencies by pushing string instruments to the limits of their lowest pitches. Spanning a three-octave range, it allows you to layer traditional but processed lowest octave string articulations with field recordings, noise, sub, and synth sources, then morph them into sounds that reverberate with cinematic intensity. Unlock unparalleled depth, drama, and impact to breathe life into scores and productions of all kinds.
Explore a collection of deep string sounds heavily processed through modern and vintage gear from across six decades.
Take control of four independent layers in a smart user interface, choosing and morphing between three sound variations embedded in each single snapshot.
Give depth and movement to sounds with the Step Sequencer and LFO controls of the Animation page.
Get hands-on control of levels, panning, and effects sends and inserts from the Channel view to dial in modern scoring strings.
Adjust the pitch, filter, and envelope settings for each individual channel from the Edit page
From string sounds and basses to pads and special effects, Low End Strings packs carefully designed snapshots for fast inspiration. Watch as product specialist Reuben Cornell shares his favorites and dives deeper into the features of the instrument, showing how you can use the step sequencer, macro controls, and array of blendable sources to craft bold, hybrid orchestral textures.
