GSi Electrorchestra for iPad is the portable version of the very same Virtual String Machine of the GSi Gemini. A simulation of a classic string machine is one of the 15 synth engines of the GSi Gemini. This particular instrument is not a reproduction of a specific existing model. It's inspired by some of the most famous string keyboards of the seventies, such as the ARP Solina, the Logan String Melody and the SIEL Orchestra. It offers 3 string registers plus one bass, features the classic attack-release envelope generator with break-point (which was mainly used to mimic the presence of a natural reverberation without using an additional reverberator), vibrato and a classic chorus/flanger effect that gives that distinguishable shimmer to the sound. A classic 4-stage phaser effect completes the set. Use it in your favorite AUv3 host along with other GSi effects such as GS-201 Mark II, ECHO B2, TimeVerb-X.

DURING THE SESSION • Log takes in one or two taps — built for console speed • Flag keepers and rate takes as you go • Track mic placement, signal chain, and notes per take • Attach photos of mic setups, console screens, and charts • Organize by project → session → track → take AFTER THE SESSION • Import bounce files and play them back right in the app • Auto-queue your keeper takes into a playback list • Sync sessions to your Calendar • Export professional PDF and CSV take sheets to hand off to a mix engineer • Export a full Bounce Bundle ZIP for the artist or band LEARN AS YOU GO Take Sheet includes a built-in instrument encyclopedia — mic placement guidance, typical signal chains, and reference recordings per instrument — free for everyone, whether you're tracking your first session or your five-hundredth.
