Legacy Strings in MainStage

Strings emulates string sections and a number of individual stringed instruments. These include violins, violas, cellos, harps, and several traditional instruments, such as the sitar, koto, and zither.

• Volume slider: Sets the overall volume level of the instrument.

• Filter Cutoff slider: Allows less sound through at low values and more at high values—damping the sound or making it brighter.

• Attack slider: Makes the sound start faster or slower. A fast setting makes it sound like striking a piano key, whereas a slow setting makes it sound like bowing a violin string.

• Release slider: Determines the time it takes for notes to fade out after you let go of the keys on your keyboard.
