Testimonials · Forge Low Strings
Loved by composers
In this composition, Forge Low Strings acted as the rhythmic and harmonic backbone of the cue, shaping the narrative through motion, dynamics, and texture. Its recorded patterns and spiccato one-shots made it easy to create evolving harmony with a strong sense of groove.
The result is a lively, cinematic dialogue between strings and brass, showing how Forge Low Strings can become an active storytelling element rather than just a background layer.
Ivan TrevisanComposerForge Low Strings is an extremely versatile low strings library. While it truly shines in action scores, it also fits perfectly in rock and metal productions, adding weight, depth, and drama to arrangements. A great choice for both cinematic work and band-based compositions.
Felipe RienteComposerForge Low Strings greatly streamlines my workflow as a composer, with realistic spiccatos and phrases that work straight out of the box in a score—especially for action and motion-driven scenes.
Guilherme SenffComposerForge Low Strings is simply incredible. It feels very close to a real instrument, with a quality you can hear right away. I also really like how practical and easy it is to use, making it a great starting point or a perfect complement to an idea while composing.
Alex RochaComposerForge Low Strings, Forge Trumpet, and Strike Strings are a great starting point when you're short on ideas — load a patch, play a few keys, and you instantly have something to build on. They're also real time-savers for the more generic building blocks of a cue, like rhythmic patterns and ostinatos.
