Output has introduced Analog Strings, a virtual instrument designed for creating strings sounds that are ‘insanely unique and cutting-edge’.
“Analog Strings is a modern take on string production,” says Gregg Lehrman, Founder and CEO. “We were meticulous in our sampling but then spent months messing it all up to create something new and different. We’re really excited to hear the music it inspires.”
Here’s the official video intro:

Pricing and Availability

Seems like the kind of product that would benefit nicely with MPE support.
Can it do vintage string machine sounds like the GForce Virtual String Machine or Waldorf Streichfett?
Performance video is very funny. Everyone is holding a 3-note chord
for dear life while moving like suffering from late-stage Tourettet’s syndrom.
Advanced ‘performers’ spaz on some knobs too.
Next-gen stuff 🙂
Laughing at “Next-gen stuff” – funny funny.
Or when you see people quickly touching the knobs – I like to call it “Lava-Knobing” because when people turn knobs while performing they act as if they’re scorching hot, touching and then pulling back their hands as if they’ve made contact with magma. Although in this video they kept hands firmly put. +1 for that.
“Lava-knobing”: excellent term!
The reason for this move is supposedly to not disrupt the complex and fast playing
of the keyboard. Of course in this video the playing consists mostly of holding a chord for about
2 minutes straight, so there is no need for Lava-knobing.
Sounds good.
199$ nearly the half price from NIs Komplete… sorry another overpriced product from output…
How much did the demonstration video cost?
I think it sounds great, and the video is entertaining too! $199 is pretty steep, if it was cheaper it’d be on my radar…
If a bald man with a beard plays it, then it must be cool. Just like being bald with a beard. So cool.
