After 70s disco strings vst? which is not big on gbs! [no kontakt libraries!]

Two more string machines:

However any good string library could serve,
in a way is more about the musical ideas, and how is the sound/instrument prepared..

 

These sound ok https://plugins4free.com/plugin/1090/

If Overture is in the ballpark, you could also try Edirol Orchestral,
some of the sounds there are quite "special", and have some bite/charm to them compared to regular Midi/Canvas stuff of the era..

Then also there's all the E-MU stuff, like the Proteus/Virtuoso, or X3 Orchestral stuff..
And why not other lesser libraries like GPO5, or Best Service Complete Orchestral Collection, etc..

It could be done many different ways,
so ultimately is a matter of taste/preference, workflow, or the type of timbre you're after..

yes i forgot about Edirol & Hypersonic comes too mind..Thanks

 

I have to agree with The Avenger here tho,
not only synth but almost ALL strings sound bad one way/another,
doesn't matter which library you try, how much you spend, or Gigabytes you fill...

There's always areas where they deliver/stand out,
but other areas where they fail, or have considerable shortcomings..

So you always have to put considerable work to adjust the stuff, and make them sound good/fit..
In fact usually the more advanced/capable and massive the library is, and the more options it offers,
the more work it represents.. lol

So in a way of speaking the only Strings libraries that don't suck -> are the libraries I haven't tried yet

This doesn't happen as much with Brass or Woodwinds libs for instance, (in my experience)
where from a certain level of quality the stuff is just good enough so you can work/live with it..

(I work on Orchestral stuff tho, so the requirements are different, but still..)

(Thx for the Hypersonic mention tho,
I'm surprised I never heard of this one!)
