The strings are not very loud, so its kind of hard to say. But I think these are high playerd synth-strings, proberly from a string machine or maybe made with a normal synth. The effect used on the strings sounds a lot like dblues Glitch (or now illformed Glitch 2) or Sugar Bytes Effectrix, its called a Tapestop effect.

If you search for string machines you could use FXpansion DCAM Amber or GForce VSM

Hope I helped...

 

Yeah, hm. Some more quick thoughts:

I think there's a big chance that's a synth and not actual strings as Someone said (more like a string-like synth layered with some noisy, grainy sound) but anyways...

- You can try it with a library that has strings with glissando articulations (pitch it up if need be). You can also try to emulate it with a pitch bend. (Also, flageolets/harmonics, mutes for real strings... Any sound which is airy, soft and noisy)
- Try synth strings patches with tweaked settings (with bend/filters) (I'd recommend Tapeotronic, a free one whose sound I like a lot and it is close to this one here)
- Use a (lowpass) filter with high resonance to make it sound more piercing/radio-like.

Quick example: http://www.putlocker.com/file/EC3B3B2D4A816D54 (Not very processed but you can hear the playing/character of the synths)

 

Those are acoustic strings. Nothing synthesized. T-Minus uses the "glide" feature in FL Studio which causes the string to slide up and down like that.

 

No, thats defiently a Tapestop effect. Listen to it carefully, it's no slide or glide or portamento effect, it dont sound like it's pitched or something...

 

sounds like a synthetic string run with a lil tremolo and a tape stop effect on the end probly found in nexus expansions or a solo string violin pack

 

I was under the impression that this can only be done with FL's own plug-ins... And I don' think FL has any synth/prog with real strings.(And, yeah, listening to it again I can say it's a synth)

 

Guys. It's neither a patch from FL Studio nor is it "portamento" per se. It's most like a patch from a 3rd party plug, but he's using an FL feature for that specific effect. He's been doing that since '07. Yes, you can achieve that sound/effect many diff ways, but that's how he's doing it.

 

It can very well be the 3rd party plug-in's portamento control or whatever. Anyway, I guess the OP got some ideas on what alternatives to try and choose what's best.

 

It's called the "slide" effect. YouTube it. You'll see most guys using it on 808 bass and such.

@ WNz,

Reproduce the delicate pluck of a single string

Sakura can reproduce the delicate pluck of a single string, a violins bowing or the sonorous resonance of a grand piano. Most importantly, the curious musician can take control of every aspect of the simulation to create fantastic instruments. Ever wanted to know what a 20 foot guitar sounded like? Or a bowed piano? Now you can find out, Sakura opens up a world of string modelling possibilities.

Virtual modelling in Sakura follows a 5 stage hanami-process :

Contact - An impulse, the mechanical contact with the string, is first generated then shaped to simulate plucks, picks, scrapes, hammers, taps or humble fingers.
Vibration - Sakura’s dual string model then gives the operator control over a wide range of parameters such as damping, tension, positioning and string properties.
String interaction – The dual strings are then mixed, panned and enveloped to simulate interactions.
Resonance - The string/s vibration then interacts with an 8-resonator ‘body simulator’ to create the size, material and shape of the instrument
Acoustics - Virtual acoustic space is then simulated with chorus, delay and reverberation effects.

It also contains a lot of good sounds of 'Synth Strings' within its Factory Presets...
