String is a virtual instrument that simulates the beautiful sound of a polyphonic string synthesizer.
See README for instructions. Checked on manjaro kde + reaper.

Split-Down Oscillators The
authentic String sound comes from its faithful imitation of the split -down oscillator technology at the heart of the luxurious ensemble synthesizers of the 70s.
Double Layer The
string has two separate sound-generating layers, each containing three phase-locked oscillators, stopping at 16 ‘, 8’ and 4 ‘for level 1 and 8’, 4 ‘and 2’ for level 2. The relative volumes of each Stop can be fine-tuned to reproduce a huge tonal range. Both layers have controllable note splitting points. Layers can be positioned so that each is controlled by a specific range on the keyboard, or even layered and stacked together.
Five sound modes
Each layer has its own sound mode: monophonic with last, low and high note priority, paraphonic or polyphonic. In polyphonic mode, each voice has its own Attack / Release AM modulation envelope. In Paraphonic mode, all voices in a layer use the same monophonic Attack / Release amplitude envelope. In monaural modes, one voice is played, which can be the lowest, highest, or last pressed note.
Five types of filters
Layers can be further formed using the mono filter section. There are several types of filters in this section; a pair of Highpass / Lowpass filters in series, an analog resonant filter in Lowpass, Bandpass or Highpass modes with various modulation options (including channel aftertouch) and a 9-band EQ. The “Filter” section can also be completely disabled.
Flexible routing
Both layers can be routed separately to the Effects section. Level 1 can also be routed directly to a Level 2 filter to create consistent filter tones.
Effects
The String Chorus section is modeled on a bucket-brigade that characterizes the sound of classic ensemble synths. Choose from two different chorus algorithms, either for an authentic Ensemble Voice (Type 1) or for a more modern, fuller sound. (Type 2). The built-in stereo phaser can be used to add movement, depth and interest to string voices. The effects section concludes with two mono bucket-brigade delay units with independent timing and feedback settings that can be tempo synced and tied together into a single stereo delay.
