Get ANALOG STRINGS for $99.50 in this Black Friday deal, 50% off until Nov 22, 2026. It is a Kontakt instrument for building and playing strings that mix orchestral recordings with vintage synths and odd sound-design sources.

What is ANALOG STRINGS?

Output describes ANALOG STRINGS as a virtual instrument for the modern music maker. The aim is strings that sound unusual and current while still staying musical.

The engine is new and was built specifically to manipulate string sounds. It sits on a 39 GB library (20 GB compressed) with 500 presets.

What's in the sound library?

The instrument draws on three kinds of source material:

Orchestra: recordings made at BMC Hall in Budapest with a large 60-piece string section, a smaller 22-piece ensemble and several solo players
Synth: classic synthesizers famous for their string tones, with custom patches that were sampled and processed to suit current production
Creative: plucked piano, recorded feedback, tape noise, screeching guitar resonance and further oddities

The orchestral sessions also picked up unconventional sounds, such as scratching a violin with the wrong side of the bow.

The synth material covers plucks and stabs through to thick, noisy pads.

How does the engine work?

The engine is dual-layer, so you can stack two sources in one patch. Sound shaping in Output comes from a flexible modulation matrix, a pair of tape loopers, two separate arpeggiators, plus Flux and macro knobs.

Each preset has 4 central macro sliders of its own. The arpeggiators sync to tempo, and there are layer FX and global FX on top.

A preset menu with smart tagging helps you move through the 500 presets. A built-in help menu is included too.

ANALOG STRINGS runs in the full version of Kontakt or the free Kontakt Player, version 5.8.1 or higher. If you only have the free Player, you can still load it.
