A sonic canvas of possibilities meticulously hand-crafted to resonate with your deepest artistic aspirations. Unleash a world of human-like expression as these strings breathe life into your compositions.

Adastra Ensemble Strings feat. 11 Violins, 8 Violas, 6 Cellos & 4 Basses recorded in a gorgeous stone church. It is more than a collection of sounds. It is an invitation to explore new colors of musical storytelling.

Adastra boasts a rich tapestry of hyper-expressive legatos, ranging from the subtle beauty of sordino (muted) tones to a modern style that bursts with vitality. A sonic solution to the radiant shimmer of John Williams' iconic film scores.

From the Emotional Sustains to Feathered Spiccatos.  Emotionally moving Arcs with both true Sordino and without.  From Feathery Spiccato to Pizzicato, Tremolos, Trills, you name it. 

Adastra is crafted with an unparalleled level of playability and emotional realism, standing as a testament to Soundpaint's dedication to elevating the art of music production. Take the reins of these strings with Soundpaint and embark on a journey beyond the stars.

Soundpaint is a free, new-generation, analog, sample engine that brings you closer than ever to the instruments with new sound morphing technology and infinite dynamic layers. With a slew of internal effects, up to 8 parts, a one-click randomizer, a new generation of keyswitches, and intuitive organization, Soundpaint makes it easy to combine and create brand new sounds - instantly. Soundpaint also includes a free editor, allowing you to import and map out your own sounds. We have made sure that Soundpaint is lightweight, so it will load fast and not slow down your project. It runs in all DAWs and supports all major plugin formats (VST, VST3, AU, AAX).

Soundpaint allows you to easily adjust a sound, from its speed to its starting point (offset), and even reverse with one click. The analog-style internal effects include multiple equalizers, delays, digital and analog distortion with tons of variety, filters, gates, and more. From the classic Lexi reverb emulation to the mystical shimmer verb, there is no end to the magic in Soundpaint. The simple, super-customizable keyswitches allow you to change and combine sounds, microphones, or entire instruments instantly. Velocity zoom expands any dynamic range to the full velocity range for ultra-detailed, felted softs and nuanced, punchy louds. With lightning-fast loading times, easy user preset program creation, and so much more, Soundpaint gives you everything you need, right at your fingertips.
