A world famous signal path

The unique sonic fingerprint of Studio Two simply cannot be replicated elsewhere due to its combination of controlled acoustics and one-of-a-kind equipment, refined over 90 years of innovation. From the vintage J37 tape machine to the dizzying array of microphones, this is the first time the sought-after signal path has been made available in a virtual string instrument.

Abbey Road Two: Iconic Strings captures the sounds of five of London’s top string players (V1, V2, Va, Cello, Bass) down to the tiniest detail. The library offers music makers the choice between highly detailed composition and new easy-to-use technology that assists in the writing process. See the brand new "Arranger" which offers a curated approach to writing with ensemble techniques, for a more tailored performance. Also the Iconic Strings Legatos, incredibly detailed and of the highest quality, represent a significant step forward in quality and realism.
