Overview

Ranging from classic to contemporary, Novo's Synthetic Strings brims with all the warmth and depth that these iconic synths can muster, with none of the unreliable tuning issues of the analog versions. With over 200 Snapshot Presets delivered in playable, rhythmic performance, and loop formats, and almost a dozen string-based synthesizers to choose from, Synthetic Strings is more than just a fresh take on analog synths, it's key-down, Raw Inspiration.

Classic | Contemporary

There's a reason these household names have been showing up in studios for decades, and now with the power of the NOVO engine, this modern analog synthesizer software has been reinvigorated with all-new rhythmic and sound-shaping capabilities. You’ve heard of these synths before: Crumar, Solina, Juno, Streichfett, Supernova, Boomstar, Matrix, RS202. Heavyocity has curated an iconic collection of vintage and modern synths, the tools behind the lush expanses of scores from films like Dunkirk and The Social Network, and TV shows like Mr. Robot and The Knick -- and infused them with new life.

Award-Winning Engine

A collection of thousands of meticulously-recorded samples is great, but what sets Heavyocity's virtual instruments apart are the serious sound design capabilities of their engines. And the award-winning NOVO engine is no exception. Armed with the raw analog samples from these iconic string synthesizers, the ability to create tonal beds and deeply-unique rhythmic pulses is right at your fingertips. Simply put, the NOVO vintage strings VST engine puts a cutting-edge arsenal of sound-design tools directly into the hands of the cinematic composer.

What The Pros Say About Synthetic Strings

Synthetic Strings

Charlie Clouser
American Horror Story (theme), Dead Silence, Resident Evil: Extinction, Saw, Wayward Pines
"Synthetic Strings is full of vintage analog tones, from icy string machines to warm and wooly basses, and it's a great complement to the other NOVO packs. The sound quality is outstanding and it’s great to have this content wrapped in the excellent NOVO user interface, which makes it easy to create everything from darkly evolving cinematic pulses to retro-futuristic strings. Even though I own tons of vintage hardware synths, the capabilities of the NOVO engine takes these sounds to another level of control and experimentation. Definitely recommended!"
Synthetic Strings

Tori Letzler
Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice, Iron Fist, Wonder Woman
"Synthetic Strings is a new and unique outlook on the software synth. As someone who heavily lives in electronic scoring, Synthetic Strings is a great tool for those who may not have the time to experiment with analogue synths. The Loop Designer is also a great way to spark inspiration in a pinch, the possibilities are endless!"

Ramin Djawadi
"Game of Thrones", "Iron Man", "Pacific Rim", "Safehouse", "The Great Wall", "Westworld"
"From warm and lush to fierce and agitated, Synthetic Strings covers a lot of sonic ground. Simultaneously vintage and modern, this pack can fit into any track."

Synthetic Strings

Kevin Riepl
ATROPA, Batman Unlimited, Constantine: City of Demons, Higher Power
"Synthetic Strings is yet another 'add-on' pack to Heavyocity’s NOVO that is loaded with an abundance of material. Many presets harken back to the synths of the 70s & 80s, which can easily find their way into many modern productions. Once again the treat in this Pack is the Designer Patches. How they manipulate these synths in the ‘Designer Patches' is beyond me, but I can always count on Heavyocity to spark the fires of creativity.”
Synthetic Strings

Newton Brothers
Doctor Sleep, Extinction, Oculus, The Haunting Of Hill House
"Synthetic Strings is another colorfully powerful package from our friends at Heavyocity. The size and depth of what can be done with this library is endless from huge fat evolving synths to cutting raw synths, strings and filters. The ability to craft rhythmic patterns from raw and processed synths and strings leaves us inspired with each cue we write. Thanks Heavyocity!!"

Reviewed: Synthetic Strings

"Synth-driven scores are common musical currency in sci-fi shows, action movies and spy thrillers. They're even being embraced in period dramas, Versailles and Vanity Fair being two recent examples. Synthetic Strings is sure to become a go-to resource for many modern scoring composers, and equally indispensable for ambient, techno, post-apocalyptic, industrial, pop and EDM genres."
