Tonsturm have released Spiral Strings, their first virtual music instrument, available at the intro price of $99.00, increasing to $179.00 after the promotion. The offer ends December 5th.
Spiral Strings is a two layer instrument – it is divided into LAYER A & LAYER B. Functions for both layers are identical. You can choose all parameters separately and individually for each layer.
Tonstrum have integrated a powerful modulation matrix. There are three LFO’s and two Step Sequencers. Including cross-modulation capabilities. You can choose modulation destinations for parameters on the Main & Effects Page.
The standout feature of Spiral Strings is the True StereoReverb. We’ve sampled Hi-Q IRs of the instrument, as well as the most characterful hardware and rooms. You can also choose between fine- tuned Filter, Distortion and Tape Saturation.
True Stereo Convolution was quite tricky to achieve and took some time to develop. However, the end result is truly worth it and gave the instrument a new dimension. Tonstrum carefully selected only their finest IR’s of super characterful reverb hardware, rooms, and the instrument itself.
One of the most weird instruments ever built. Two classical Cello strings that are attached to 3m long springs that are connected to two different drums…come on. The Space Cello doesn’t have a classical body to resonate. The sound is transferred by the springs to the two drums that replace the normal body.
It was clear from the beginning that Tomstrum only could do justice to the sound of the Spring Cello by capturing “performances” instead of sterile and separated tones. Matthias – professional Cello player from cologne – did a great job taking our crazy notes regarding unusual play styles. Tonstrum also wanted the instrument to be something you can really work with – so every play style is bound to it’s key note and the musical scale. Tonstrum recorded at a big studio in the Netherlands with the most low-noise sounddesign microphones and on the other side the most insane collection of vintage and modern Hi-End gear grails.
Features include:
- 8 play styles – ranging from “normal” legato to more crazy ones like like Sul Ponticello or using a titanium stick, etc.
- Tonstrum recorded “workable” textures and phrases – all bound to their key-note and the musical scale in general
- Three round robins of 10-15 second long files
- Three microphone positions – recorded with low-noise sounddesign mics and vintage and modern Hi-End gear grails
- Uncommon True Stereo Reverb engine with our own crazy IR’s
Spiral Strings requires a full version of Kontakt 6 or later.
