What it is

RDGString is a hybrid string instrument plugin from RDGAudio that blends sampled acoustic string recordings with virtual analogue synthesis. It offers velocity-sensitive playing and multiple articulation options, giving it both the texture of live-recorded strings and the flexibility of a synthesized layer that can be shaped to taste. Version 1.5 added an enhanced sample oscillator and a new library format (.rda1), expanding the tonal range available from the factory content.

Who it's for

Composers and producers who need quick, sample-accurate string parts for scoring, pop, or cinematic production without loading a full orchestral sample library.

Key features

• Hybrid acoustic-sample and virtual-analogue string engine for both realistic and synthesized string tones
• Velocity sensitivity with multiple articulation modes for expressive playing
• Built-in reverb plus dual filter modes (low-pass and high-pass) with cutoff and resonance controls for shaping the tone
• Resizable GUI with factory presets and the ability to save custom presets for recurring workflows
