What Melda PowerStrings Is For
Designed as a modern symphonic string instrument, PowerStrings instantly adds wide pads, edgy ostinatos, or emotive melodic lines to your productions. Ideal for pop, urban, trailers, and film music, it delivers a broad and contemporary sound while remaining flexible enough for orchestral or hybrid composition.
Main Features
Articulations and Expression
Choose from key articulations like silky legato or sharp staccato, then switch in real time via the low keys on your keyboard. Layer multiple articulations, independently adjust pitch and volume, and sculpt dynamics with dedicated envelopes for tailored phrasing.
"Creative" Tab for Sound Design
Go beyond traditional strings: Convolution, frequency modulation, harmonic control, and Diffusion open textures ranging from gritty synthetic to airy cinematic. Create hybrid timbres that blend naturally into modern arrangements.
Integrated Effects Section
Refine your sound without additional plugins: reverb with five room and hall types, versatile delay, 5-band EQ, Motion FX, distortion, chorus, modulation modules, and LoFi processing. The internal chaining streamlines workflow and speeds up rendering.
Performance and Workflow
An MSoundFactory instrument efficient in CPU and RAM usage, with a library just over 600 MB for quick loading. A clear interface facilitates the creation of lush arrangements without interrupting inspiration.
