Stellar
If you route audio or MIDI in AUM or Cubasis, Pure Strings is an absolute must-have.
The sound quality is pristine, rich, and deeply expressive right out of the box, but where it truly shines is its seamless AUv3 integration and parameter mapping. Pitch bends, expressiveness, and dynamic modulation respond fluidly with almost zero latency. Whether you are driving it with an MPE surface, a ribbon controller, or mapping custom MIDI CCs for 2D Morph pad parameter control, this app tracks every nuance effortlessly.
It’s stable, lightweight on CPU, and instantly elevates any live mobile rig or studio setup. Huge credit to the developers—this is easily one of the best string synth/physical modeling engines available on iOS!

レビューへのコメントで、モーフパッド上のアーティキュレーションアイコンの位置を変更できることを教えて頂きました。
多少自分好みの操作感に近づけることはできましたが、やはり速いボウイングの奏法ができないのは残念です。
Response from developer
レビューありがとうございます。モーフパッド（左側のペンアイコン）で、すべてのアーティキュレーションの位置を変更することができます。そうすれば、マルカートでもサスティンとスタッカートをミックスできるようになります。

デフォルト状態ではちょっと使いづらいかも

Nicht so expressiv wie erhofft
The best
A masterpiece!
A really superb orchestral Audio Unit.
Great string
Needs Midi Learn

Thank you for your review. We may add a switchable mapping for expression in the future. However, we already allow the Morph Pad to be automated via the 'MorphpadX' and 'MorphpadY' parameters, or CCs 14 and 15. Please refer to the 'Help' dialogue, accessible via the 'i' button in the top right corner, for more information.
Brilliant but needs serious stabilization

Edit: 14 January: We just released a stability update (version 1.2.5) with additional optimisations for the latest iOS versions. Instability can have multiple causes. It is mostly related to memory usage or CPU overload. This depends on how many other memory-intensive plugins are loaded in the same session. You can try reducing the number of voices (e.g. 'Voice Mode Eco') to save RAM. As with Pure Piano and Pure Upright, deactivating 'Liquid Morph' in the settings also helps to reduce CPU usage when using multiple instances of the plugin. However, this is not possible on tracks where Morph Pad automations are used. On all other tracks, 'Liquid Morph' is unnecessary and deactivating it will save background resources.
It’s Amusing Sorta

Thank you very much for your comments! The dynamics of Pure Strings are controlled by MIDI CC#01 (modulation). If the mod wheel control is not preferred, a controller fader could be configured to send CC#01. The volume is controlled by MIDI CC#07 (volume). In order to control the volume, the foot pedal could be configured to send CC#07.

Incredible sound
And now we need Pure horns))
Великолепно
Absolutely incredible expression.
Whatever annunaki / zeta reticule sampling technique they use, they have mastered it entirely. Literally Hans Zimmeresque sounds with so much movement, texture, spirit, breathe- it's soulful- but it's still just samples!!!
This tech is unmatched, imho
Unmatched
This right here is MIND BLOWINGLY good, out the gate. The sound of all the instruments is A1, the feature with the automatic arpeggiator is nice and it's not complex. This gets me a step closer to having realism in one instrument section of my mobile production. I was lucky to find this so early and if you've found it, this is the option to go with imo. This is the first mobile plugin that I've felt could even be in the realm of comparison to what I use on the computer, , great quality
This is reallllyyy good. I have suggestions

Thank you for your review. Currently, we don't plan to add the ability to record audio directly in our apps. However, Pure Strings comes with an AUv3 plugin version that you can use in GarageBand and other multitrack recording apps, such as Logic for iPad and Cubasis. There, you can simply press the record button to start recording and then do a mixdown afterwards. We recommend trying this approach. If you are asked to add an instrument to GarageBand, select "Extern -> Audio Unit" to find Pure Strings.
Yooo read this

Edit: We just released a version with optimised stability and performance. Hint: If you don't need to automate held notes on the Morph Pad for a track, deactivate "Liquid Morph" for that plugin instance to save CPU.
