What is Oriental Strings? Oriental Strings is a sound module app designed for oriental keyboard players and musicians who want to incorporate the sound of the Orient and Middle East in their music. The app can be used with an external MIDI keyboard or as a virtual instrument within a DAW app on iOS devices. The app supports Audio Unit, Audiobus, and Apple's Inter-App Audio System for audio and MIDI connections. The sounds were recorded by professional players dedicated to oriental music, including exotic instruments like the Chinese erhu and typical western string instruments.
1. Oriental Strings is a professional sound module app for oriental keyboard players and for musicians who simply want to resemble the typical sound of the Orient and Middle East in their songs.
2. Besides rather exotic instruments like the Chinese erhu, typical western string instruments were used as well, but since the players of the recording sessions are focused on oriental music, those western instruments sound completely different than you might be used to from western orchestra players.
3. • Load your favorite songs as MIDI files from the Internet, and watch at the virtual keyboard how to play it.
4. The sounds of Oriental Strings were exclusively recorded with players who are professionally dedicated to oriental style of music.
