Reproduce the delicate pluck of a single string
Sakura can reproduce the delicate pluck of a single string, a violins bowing or the sonorous resonance of a grand piano. Most importantly, the curious musician can take control of every aspect of the simulation to create fantastic instruments. Ever wanted to know what a 20 foot guitar sounded like? Or a bowed piano? Now you can find out, Sakura opens up a world of string modelling possibilities, why not download the Sakura demo and try it for yourself. The Sakurazensen is coming, be there to experience it.
Virtual modelling in Sakura follows a 5 stage hanami-process :
Contact - An impulse, the mechanical contact with the string, is first generated then shaped to simulate plucks, picks, scrapes, hammers, taps or humble fingers.
Vibration - Sakura’s dual string model then gives the operator control over a wide range of parameters such as damping, tension, positioning and string properties.
String interaction – The dual strings are then mixed, panned and enveloped to simulate interactions.
Resonance - The string/s vibration then interacts with an 8-resonator ‘body simulator’ to create the size, material and shape of the instrument
Acoustics - Virtual acoustic space is then simulated with chorus, delay and reverberation effects.

More than just drum samples.
Great, but why should you care when the internet is awash with drum samples?
In two words, expressive control.
Once a drum sound is recorded, the performance and modulation options are limited to filtering, volume, or similar 1-dimensional effects.
When a single drum sample is triggered in a roll, you get the familiar 'machine-gun' effect and it just sounds mechanical. Multi-sampled, multi-layered drums can overcome this limitation but need multi-megabyte or even Gigabyte! drum libraries. Even then, you are still limited to the sounds originally recorded.

Friktion is a physical modeling string instrument from Reason Studios. In other words, instead of relying on gigabytes of samples, Friktion is a synthesizer that actually models real string instruments. With clever control keys you can easily play it in a way that simply sounds real. Whether it's a violin or an imaginary space harp is up to you.

Few things can bring about the same sense of poetry and expression as a beautiful string texture. Strings elevate the emotion of a song… and that's what this plug-in is all about!
Million-dollar sound
ujam is happy to count Hans Zimmer - one of the world’s great film composers - as one of its co-founders. Hans generously gave us access to his legendary string recordings, amassed over decades, for use in STRIIIINGS.
