Studio Strings Black Friday pricing is 77% off, $34, with the offer ending Nov 26, 2026, on AIR Music Technology's string library for VST, AU, AAX and MPC Standalone hosts.
It gives you four string instruments: Bass, Cello, Viola and Violin. You can load them as a whole orchestra, a chamber set or solo players.
The library holds over 1 GB of sampled content and 100 presets. The maker says it covers orchestral, chamber and solo string sounds.
The four models are the core of the plugin, and each one covers a different register of the string section.
AIR lists nine articulations across the instruments, including Staccato Up/Down, Pizzicato, Sustain, Tremolo, Marcato and Legato. Not every instrument gets every articulation, since the maker says multiple articulations are available per instrument.
You can adjust dynamics, envelopes, vibrato and aftertouch response. The speed and length of legato glides are adjustable too.
Portamento and string bend range are adjustable, which the maker says makes performances sound more natural.
There is also an FX engine with EQ, filter, reverb and delay. On top of that sit 30 flavor timbre effects for building your own string sound.
The maker pitches it at custom orchestral hits for a boom-bap beat, symphonic-style string arrangements and solo violin lines.
Yes. A purchase unlocks the plugin on three devices: PC, Mac (VST, AU, AAX) and Standalone (MPC and FORCE).
The maker says that lets you move a production from standalone hardware into your DAW with the same sounds.
On Mac, Studio Strings supports macOS 12, 13, 14 and 15, on both Intel and Apple Silicon. On Windows it supports Windows 10 and Windows 11.
An internet connection is required to authorise the software.
