2getheraudio releases Cheeze Machine 2 - Free String Machine Synthesizer

2getheraudio has released Cheeze Machine 2, a free-of-charge string machine plugin.

Inspired by Big Tick Audio's Cheeze Machine string machine plugin, Cheeze Machine 2 includes an expanded oscillator section, fresh presets, built-in effects, and support for 64-bit VST, AU, AAX DAWs as well as Standalone.

"Big Tick's original Cheeze Machine went viral due to its great sound, ease of use, and very low CPU load. I'm excited to say we were able to maintain all of that even while adding more oscillators and a new convolution reverb", stated Jennifer Hruska, CEO of 2getheraudio. "Cheeze Machine 2 is a perfect alternative to other expensive, overly complicated, and processor hungry string synths out there. It's my go-to string box."

Cheeze Machine 2's oscillator section is designed to bring the power and warmth of hardware vintage string machines back, with options for modifying the pulse width, shape, brightness and tuning. Options for doubling, adding an octave or sub oscillator are also included. Any preset can be customized with the built-in Ensemble, Phaser, Vibrato and Reverb effects. Amplitude and filter envelopes are also available for shaping the sound. Over 60 sounds are included.

Cheeze Machine 2 utilizes the Qubiq Audio struQture audio engine, a software platform that builds virtual instruments and effects plugins. The struQture audio engine is used in plugins from Akai Professional, NOS Audio, Sonivox and others and is built and maintained by 2getheraudio engineers.

Price: Free.
