This virtual instrument enables producers to craft and use “insanely unique and cutting-edge” string sounds, with samples taken from a 60-piece string orchestra and 22-piece orchestra at the BMC Hall in Budapest, Hungary.

Until 16 August, Analog Strings is only $99, down from $199.

Also on offer is Exhale, also for $99 down from $199. Exhale is a fully comprehensive vocal sampler, with 500 unique presets, three modes, and 10GB of raw material (that’s a hell of a lot of vocal samples to work with.
