Zo Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 When i need strings machine this is it , and not only !! @simon yep still after those years , i do think gforce stuff are highly underrated , mainly due to no hype and few releases ... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon Posted March 4, 2020 Author Share Posted March 4, 2020 just getting it installed now ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon Posted March 4, 2020 Author Share Posted March 4, 2020 very quick update - and remember I'm a guitar player not a keyboard player and I don't think I'm skilled enough to bringing out the nuances of what it is capable of...... it's very much in the mould of the other Gforce synths - ie could do with a bit of an update generally, but it does sound very good indeed. I'm not capable of giving a Zo type review but I the bottom line is that it only cost about £34 from JRR . I'm very much a 'preset' player - and there are a LOT of presets to work through. @ZincT I'd recommend you go for it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes I saw the Try It button with a "download" symbol and assumed there was a downloadable demo. They have playable demos of their other products so it seems strange not to have one for this. I think I will email them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitekrazy Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 https://www.jrrshop.com/gforce-virtual-string-machine-expansion-combo $41.99 No extra discount. I probably have equivalents with UVI and AAS, probably Analog Lab, Kontakt. Jrr would be the better deal because Paypal will add conversion charge buying direct. BTW can you store the samples on a separate drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleer Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I’ve got the RE-Strings version for Reason, so I’ll hold off on this one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zo Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 The weak point for me is browsing ... and interfacing , with the amount of expansion , still some work. To be considered even after rescent updates imho ... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bajan Blue Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I've had this for a long time and it is my first stop for string sounds - this is so cheap it must almost be in no brainer territory - the choice of sounds is extensive - as Zo says browser is a bit old fashioned but once you've used it for a while you get use to it - and as I said it does sound good!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
