Try using Lmms' Vibed plug in. I've just discovered, you can make almost realistic, to realistic, Guitar sounding strings in it. Or as the Lmms manual says, Plucky strings and notes. I almost made a "Harp" the other day.sti2nd wrote:Find it hard to achieve good string sounds which sounds real. I´m talking about strings like violin, cello, contrabass. etc..
Any great free presets or vsti´s out there?
Warning: I've just discovered, some of the notes in Vibed, other than C5, (C5 in some cases) causes a nasty loud sounding distortion sound. Probably a glitch in Lmms. Make sure your volume is very low, or not wearing headphones, when experimenting with this. Hopefully it does not damage your ears or speakers.
Theses are free DSK VSTi's:
You can check DSK instruments. My recommendation is "DSK's Guitar Steel." I give it 4.8 out of 5. Since it doesn't crash much in LMMS 0.4.13. 64 Bit.
Did I mention, it's also "Loud" when you raise the settings.
Try DSK's Indian DreamZ, if you want to use a variety of 6 Indian instruments. 5 of them are High quality stringed Instruments. I like "Sarod." And another one . He! He!
DSK's World strings is cool. But it strangely crashes LMMS 0.4.13.
DSK Asian DreamZ is good too, But it crashes often, when you try to use the Pica Tremolo.
Hope that helps.
