If you're only looking for a strings plugin, I'd check something else out. Producers and musicians looking for a quality MIDI controller with a tightly integrated software instrument and effects package will be thrilled with this. So, if you're looking for a plugin that can help you compose and write orchestral phrases + is also a decent sounding string ensemble, you might be interested in AS2.

So even though I complained that AS2 only offers a full string ensemble, with this MIDI export feature, you can take what you built inside AS2 and instantly send it to any instrument you'd like. And that is the ability to quickly export your crafted phrases into MIDI to place on any instrument layer you'd like. There's also a small feature that I think has a humungous impact. As a producer who has zero experience in writing scores and pieces for strings, this feature helps me sound like I know what I'm doing. Inside AS2 you are able to quickly create phrases from a versatile range of articulations. With AS2 only offering a full string ensemble, you might find that it's lacking as far as a Kontakt library for $299.Īs a composition tool however, this is where this plugin shines. The string ensemble is good and passable for quick sketches or for layering behind a track that "just needs some nice strings". If you're only interested in AS2 for it's full string ensemble I would recommend looking for a cheaper alternative.
