Part violin family, part machine. The three String
Cyborgs - Zinc, Blackheart and Ironface - use the
processed and looped sounds of bowed strings (cello
and double bass) as oscillators, and place them in a
synthesizer architecture with unison, detune,
filters and even some humanization parameters. Hide
your humans.
They are named after the three Roms from Albert
Pyun's movie Omega Doom - vicious, very advanced and
even more fashionable killer droids. The sound (we
like to think it's a very advanced and even more
fashionable killer sound) is basically a very
organic version of a virtual analog synthesizer.
They are capable of many kinds of basses, from
plucks to wobbles, as well as drones, pads, organs,
evolving textures, various kinds of leads and of
course string sounds. There is even a closed hi-hat
preset.
The 60 MB download includes 224 WAV
files, 43 presets, GUI components and an XML file
for bank registration. String Cyborgs require Plogue
Sforzando version 1.848 or newer.
