The best

This is amazing, I like how simple it is to use it but I do have some crazy suggestions: be able to “simulate” more than just 14 strings, you should be able to do 21 or 24. Next: you should be able to simulate audio being passed through piano strings (88 strings), but it would be disabled by default as it would not run well on low end devices, and a 2nd option for simulating all 230 strings. Besides that, 5/5 stars

Excellent effect

This a great effect, I love it and use it often on my contrabass. Thank you for your creative work.

God's own app

This app is amazing and what id been lookig for a long time. I tried midi guitar and other similar apps, they had good things i liked but lacked the crucial ability to shift the master tuning, theyre all stuck in 440hz which is on its way out and dead sounding after a hundred years of it. so i needed an ability not only to shift master tuning (as Oval synth does admirably with no lag time or reduced quality) but adjust each individual string as I am using a just 432 tuning on guitar and also have to account for intonation issues etc. This app is literally perfect for it, it's really well made and best of all free, which I have lately been thinking is really the sign of the greatest work because it shows it is like a gift of love from the developer, not just a quick buck with a gimmick and flashy write up to sell itself, anything like that is eventually discovered to be tacky and just about useless, because money corrupts, but this unassuming app I actually overlooked months ago, is free and has no adds etc, perfect. THANK YOU to the developer, you are a genius and understand music on a deep level. This has really enriched so much about music for me now. I am still programming in different keys but it's fun to program them in and then turn monitoring and hear it, wow. It also gives enough strings i think i can tune to account for strings varying tuning while playing for example have three strings set to 432,433,434 if that particular string tends to tune up on that note while playin, and if i'm correct it should recognize them specifically and still sound good like guitar. I am also experimenting with this developers chorus and eq plugins, they seem to be amazing too, with the eq in seconds i had better sound than with garageband eq only, even better than garageband + amplitube eq, now i am using amplitube for their compressor and this eq and then the resonant strings. Btw one thing developer might like to know is i overlooked this plugin due to the unremarkable name, CuSnP, i thought what is that, doesnt seem that great (!) and didnt even read the info. Well, now i have and realized it might be exactly what i wanted and it is and more. it's really cool. Thanks again!

Like this for ‘flattening’ percussive sounds.

So if a percussive sound hits this, it suddenly flattens and disperses? Just try it, when you want a dramatic change in say, a piano track in your mix. Almost makes it a pad sound. You can remove certain frequencies represented by wires horizontally, and so change the overall character. I suppose it’s like an EQ in that way, but the ‘unseen’ harmonics are removed, or not created, as well.

If a certain piece ends up becoming an ambient or drone-type feel, I throw this in if there’s an instrument I want to knock the percussion, sudden-ness out of. It’s something I try quite a lot, and decide whether the song takes to the whole new character of the sound, or not. Also, the original source is still there in character, to an extent. I don’t think I tried it on drums, but that would be the ultimate percussive change, must at least try this!

Genius concept

I had no idea how much I needed this till I found it. Love how it can make midi instruments sound so much more like live instruments
