Behringer SOLINA STRING ENSEMBLE Classic Analog String Ensemble Synthesizer

Like most synth strings from the disco-fueled fever of 1970s Studio 54 panache, Solina String Ensemble’s sonic array carefully threads the needle between delightfully cheesy and vintage character. Behringer has faithfully and carefully mastered the art of emulation and, like its predecessor, the Solina String Ensemble is an all-analog synthesizer that packs all the fixin’s of a vaunted heritage synth into a flexible module with even more possibilities than ever before. From its six instrument presets to the iconic, multi-stage bucket brigade device ensemble chorus and Small Stone-style phase shifter, texture defines the Solina’s unique voicing. Synth heads at Music Bliss love that the expanded I/O suite gives you even finer control of the lauded synth’s aural faculties. At the same time, classic octave divide-down and voice priority selection means you can experience the sum of Solina String Ensemble’s 49-tone polyphony any way you like.
