Audiolatry has announced the release of Easy Strings, a free virtual instrument plugin for DAWs on Windows and macOS.
Easy Strings is not intended as a real-sounding emulation of a strings ensemble, it is a simple and easy-to-use instrument for creating melodies and pads in genres such as EDM, Hip Hop, Trap, House, etc. There's only one velocity layer, meaning this plugin is unsuitable for elaborate scores.
