Arturia Solina Strings Machine V2 Virtual Instrument Plug-In

Arturia 1090-40 Overview

The Solina V2 from Arturia is a virtual instrument that faithfully models the classic Arp/Eminent Solina string ensemble. The modeling process of the Solina MK1 started with making sure that the violin, viola, cello, horn, and trumpet sounds were as rich and warm as the original, along with the renowned Ensemble effect.

In addition to providing all the original parameters of the string ensemble, the company has expanded the sound generating elements to include the Vox Humana and Resonators from the Polymoog synthesizer, original paraphonic and new polyphonic modes of operation, a 24 dB per octave filter on the bass section, LFO, and arpeggiator.

Besides classic vintage synthesizer string sounds, the instrument includes ambient pads, mono leads, basses, brass, arpeggios, and more. All the effects from the original are also available, along with more modern additions. Control over the many parameters is implemented with a simple MIDI learn function with the ability to store different configurations and recall them as needed. This software runs on Mac and Windows computers as a standalone instrument or as a plug-in within your DAW on the AU, AAX Native, VST2, VST3, and NKS platforms.
