"Cheeze Machine" is a string ensemble synth from Big Tick Audio. It's very simple to use (a definite plus), but it is light on variety and possibilities.
Features:
-1 oscillator
-8 presets
-Phaser, modulation, reverb
Sound:
First off, you should know that synth does not create realistic string sounds. It can, however, produce some better than average synth string sounds. It has only 8 presets, so the variety of sounds you can produce is limited. One clever way of obtaining more sounds is adjusting the Brightness and Feedback nobs. The Brightness nob can take you all the way from a warm, velvety bass to a more in-your-face, sawtooth-y sound. Using this method and others, it is possible to create basses, leads, and pads with this synth.
Ease of Use:
Nothing too complicated here. As first I wasn't clear on what "Ensemble" meant in the upper right of the panel. This is just a modulation/chorus effect. For those of you a little less knowledgeable, the "Voices" nob controls how many sustaining tones the synth can play. There is an algorithm that determines which notes will be cut out if you exceed that limit, so you probably just want to set it high in most cases.
Overall:
I don't regret downloading this plug-in, but I can't say I'll be using it much. It works nice as a supplement to other string patches you may have in other synths.
