SONUSCORE has introduced LUX Orchestral Strings, a new virtual instrument that’s designed to recreate the sound of a 70-piece symphonic string ensemble.
LUX Orchestral Strings was crafted by composers for composers with a professional workflow in mind.
Here’s what they have to say about it:
“LUX Orchestral Strings is unlike any product Sonuscore has ever made. A full 70-piece string section, recorded on a large concert stage with the warmth, power, and detail that define Hollywood’s most unforgettable scores.
Think of the soaring theme of Harry Potter, the heroic fanfare of Star Wars or the sweeping emotion of Jurassic Park. These scores didn’t just support the story – they became part of the story itself. LUX is built to give today’s composers access to that same timeless sound.”
Features:
Seamless Articulation Transitioning
Comprehensive bleed microphones
Morphing articulations
Key switch articulation sets for every musical context
Natural string change legato
Composer-Crafted ensembles with different voicing combinations

Tiptop Audio has introduced Resonator, a recreation of the resonator section of the classic 1975 Moog Polymoog in Eurorack format.
Tiptop’s Resonator has been enhanced with voltage control over every parameter, selectable frequency ranges for each resonator, multiple gain stages, an emphasis CV with limiter, and a bypass switch.
The TTA Resonator is fully analog, ensuring a “pure, clean analog sound — the dreamy, resonating tones at their finest.” They say that the resonator excels as an end-of-chain effect for our polyphonic modules, and with a wide range of audio sources, including samples, drums, and even full mixes.
The Tiptop Audio Resonator is available now for $189.
This episode of Helium Vision features a visit into the Vintage Synthesizer Museum, in Los Angeles.
The Vintage Synthesizer Museum is an interactive place, where everything is set up so it can be played and recorded.
Video Summary:
“Founded in 2013 by the avid synthesizer historian Lance Hill, this “living museum” exists in a space where the past and present come together to offer an immersive experience into the magical world of sound.
It’s not just a museum—it’s a place where visitors and artists can disappear into their work, perform in a unique atmosphere, or learn the art of synthesis.
Initially opening its doors in Oakland, the VSM is now nestled in the heart of Los Angeles. The space has since witnessed the presence of many modern visionaries—Damon Albarn, Egyptian Lover and Neurosis, to name a few—each leaving behind their own distinctive imprints.”
