About Loomer String
String is a virtual instrument that emulates the beautiful sound of the polyphonic string synthesizer.

Divide-Down Oscillators
String's authentic tone comes from its accurate emulation of the divide-down oscillator technology behind the lush ensemble synths of the 70s.
Contains VST (32-bit / 64-bit), RTAS, and Standalone executable versions.

Twentyseven steep band filter each with their own compressor unit allow for extremely detailed sound processing.

The multiband filter BARK takes the approach to match the reception characteristic of the final destination of all sound: the ear. The ear behaves as if it contains a bank of filters, each filter passing frequencies within the critical band. Two tones separated by more than a critical bandwidth are received by the ear independently. For this reason BARK contains a filter bank with 27 bandpass filters matching the critical bandwidth.
