Review: Raw Strings by Sudden Audio
Wide pool of varied samples
Really fun and intuitive four layer engine design with effects, sequencer and arpeggiator
Not only string samples but found sounds, tape and vinyl sounds and a piano
Inventive snapshots to get you going
The randomise button is magical
More advanced controls the deeper you dive into the instrument
Sometimes unpredictable and therefore takes time to get the sounds you want
New developer Sudden Audio has entered the virtual instrument world with a contemporary modern string texture library that goes beyond the confinements of our slinky friends. String texture libraries are nothing new, but Raw Strings successfully brings some new ideas to the table while sounding superb along the way!

By using a four layer engine, all of these wonderful sound sources can be combined to create unique textures which are perfect for cinematic underscore, crime and tension or whatever your imagination decides.
