Hello everyone,

I am looking for a nice violin plugin or synthesizer. Which one is the best one you recommend?

I personally love the violin sound at the end of this particular song. I would appreciate if you take a look at it.

Thank you for your time!

spitfire rules for ensemble strings... I've heard guys do some really nice physically modelled soloed strings with Kurzweil K series synths with the VAST engine. Still pricey used though. I've had some luck making very decent solo, legato strings with FM synthesis, but you really need to be patient and have some DX7 experience. Its not a beginner FM patch. In software FM synths imageline Sytrus is better at it than NI FM8. My sytrus string patches trumped anything I could make on a DX7 de to the variable operator shapes and filters.

  • Roland Juno-6
