“Night Flight” is a VSTi plug-in for the Windows platform emulating the analogue string ensemble keyboards invented
in the early seventies. String machines have been widely used in Pop, Rock, Funk, Reggae, Soul, and Disco music
throughout the seventies and up to the early eighties when they were popular with New Wave acts. In recent years
the sound has stirred interest again due to it's distinct character and undeniable vintage charm.
“Night Flight” does not use any samples. It is based on an emulation of the ensemble effect first used by Eminent /
Solina back in 1972 and an organ-like sound generation (octave divider). You
will also find a number of features inspired by other string
machines like the 3 band equalizer from the Crumar Performer or
the Envelope Filter on the very rare ARP String Synthesizer. Besides
the clearly laid out main panel there are 6 sub panels giving access
to a large number of under-the-hood parameters like filter and
amplifier modulations, ADSR, LFO, keyboard split points, equalizer
automation and two additional simultaneous ensemble effects for
even thicker pad sounds. Finally there is an onboard effect section
providing the typical phasing and delay effects which are essential
for some of the best known string machine timbres.
Plugin format: VST2 32-bit for Windows

Testimonials |
Here are a few user statements taken from a discussion at KVRaudio following the release day:
"Sounds great, looks great. Bought."
"What a gem this is! I'm so glad I stumbled on it
Great sound with plenty of character. Just the right balance
of versatility and simplicity. I love it! The keyboard
splits are a brilliant idea too!"
"For many years I was looking for the perfect
Jean Michel Jarre strings.
With Night flight I got it. Fantastic sound!!!"
"It can do smooth and laid back, but it also does raw
and cutting. Instant Manasseh, Jah Shaka etc.
And really loving the gui. The manual is a nice read too.
Made with love."
"thank you! bought!"
"Sounds great"
"Yes, initially I did not want to buy it, but then I got some
very nice patches within so little time that I thought, why not?
Sure, I got other synths and effects that could in theory do the
same thing together, but it would be so much more work.
Your synth just appeals to me."
"It can sound really lush and doesn't even consume much CPU."
