VSM Version 3
In much the same way that we played a big part in the rediscovery of the mellotron sound, in 2007 we had a similar role in resurrecting the tones of a range of iconic string machines, including the Freeman String Symphonizer, Eminent 310 and Solina String Ensemble, and bringing them back into vogue with release of VSM. In 2014 the addition of the VSM Expansion Pack further expanded the range of available instruments and tones helping confirm VSM as the go-to instrument for this wonderful family of instruments.
While the likes of Sound On Sound magazine were signing the praises of VSM ("It sounds absolutely gorgeous.") we felt it lacked one crucial component found on some of our favourite string ensembles, that being stereo playback.
Instruments such as the Solina String Ensemble and Roland's wonderful 505 offered stereo outputs allowing their sublime, moving ensemble textures to sit perfectly within a wide stereo field. This one feature set such instruments apart highlighting just how stunning these, now ancient, analogue machines could sound.
