Hey, guys. I did some research and saw that Virtual Playing Orchestra is the best free orchestra right now, and I wanted to download it. But when I clicked into the link, it showed that the website now has an… error?
I ask the same question too.
In VPO, violins (…violas and other strings) seem a bit metallic and not very warm…
What do you think?
Any free alternatives for realistic bowed string instruments?
Hi, there is a software called soundpaint that you might be interested in.
It is commercial, but the program is free and on their website they have several free instruments, the rest are paid but with reasonable prices, I think.
It is a very interesting program, with various possibilities of control and sound design, very entertaining.
It is for Mac and Windows but works very well on Linux Ubuntu 22.04 with Wine Winehq-9.19 (Staging), from version 3 of Soundpaint.
