search for Stringer 1.2

[J Kennedy]

Friends,

Does anyone have an old copy of the Stringer 1.2 vsti that they wouldn’t mind uploading. The link at falke labs has been dead for a long while and no response from the moderator. It was (is) a freeware vsti string emulator.

Many thanks,
John K

Gregh,

Got it! Many thanks for the link. The plugin is big and probably based on actual samples. Got to love the lo-fi Mellotron and Arp emulator.

Only notable bug on the extinct forum is the tuning of some of the samples. They missed A 440 by a bit on a few patches. Fortunately Reaper has the fine tuning to correct the pitch. Other than this, Stringer is worth the download.

Appreciate your help.

Probably used a viola player for those duff samples.

[J Kennedy]

Art, my friend, if anyone has the moral authority to critique the sound of a viola, you are da man. I’d still like to pry some sound samples from you from your classical collection. Time and inclination permitting, could you find some memorable clips of long solo strings, brass, etc and throw them on stashbox or the like. Plan is to create and process some decent soundfonts from orchestral samples, and would be glad to repost them to the collective.

With work going on like Terry’s SFZ wrap, Sump’s drum fonts…this medium is a wide open field. I’d be very much interested in what soundfonts others are creating as well.

Regards,
John K

is anybody else having trouble seeing stringer in reaper? i cannot!

Stringer installs itself by default in Program Files\Stringer instead of your VST directory. You need to move the dll file to your VST directory.

If/After you've done that, Stringer shows up under the name VSTi: Container (Bengt Falke) in reaper

Stringer has a nice low fi vibe, and it is handy to have all of these sorts of sounds in one place. And of course, I like the name!

Heh, I had it all along - never thought of looking under Bent Fork.

You probably get what you pay for with these, but here are some more lo fi Mellotron delights. Now that we've got everything digitized, Tapeworm regresses and has a control to add back in tape hiss to recreate the original quality (or lack of). Tapeworm and Nanotron are a bit buggy in other software but are rock solid in Reaper.

Should add JP Hovercraft's page of free Mellotron wav samples for several instruments. They would have to be woven into soundfonts to get the whole scale. His link to one of the C# samples for the strings is dead but one could probably stretch things to compensate. No response so far from JP. I think I've been blacklisted from the Internet for complaining too much.
This is a back burner project for me and I'll post the completed fonts when done, even without C#.

Anyone out there as close to 60 years as me is probably breaking out in a cold sweat with excitement over this stuff.
