Unleash the darkness with Unstrung 2, a spine-chilling evolution of our best-selling instrument. Bigger, badder, and more twisted than ever, this terrifying follow-up drags you deeper into the abyss of horror soundscapes. Armed with over 3x the original content – including an arsenal of haunting double bass samples – this isn’t just an update; it’s an audio nightmare waiting to happen.
Built from raw, live solo string recordings, Unstrung 2 is your go-to weapon for creating unnerving tension and cinematic dread. Every knock, screech, and pluck from bass, cello, viola, violin, and even banjo (yes, banjo) brings a visceral edge to your compositions. With an all-new GUI and full support for Kontakt Player, Native Access, and NKS, it’s never been easier to bend these disturbing sounds to your will. From gut-wrenching whooshes to eerie risers, you’ll craft custom hits and rhythms that twist, slash, and claw their way into your listeners’ nightmares.
RHYTHMS
Provides you with a 16 step sequencer where each step can be loaded with a sample from one of 5 categories (and nearly 1000 distinct samples) of sounds: Knocks, Plucks, Screeches, Grindings, Dives and Ricochets. Each step can have volume, panning, length and tuning adjustments, making for infinite possibilities, and direct syncing to various time signatures in your DAW.
HITS
Provides you with 80 unique, designed whoosh effects, all made from live string manipulations, nearly 40 baseline percussive hits, and nearly 1000 one-shot samples combined in our new 4-layer engine to generate hits and impacts. Play the hit by itself or play any of the whooshes which are programmed to play the hit automatically at the end of the whoosh. Create endless combinations of hits from subtle to absolutely massive.
Our new 4-layer engine adds a special Percussion layer, which lets you select one of 39 different percussive hits as a base for your hit creations, mixing with the 3 layers of string FX sources to give you something truly special.
RISERS
Unstrung 2 Risers takes our 3-layer engine to new, disturbing heights, with various manipulated/processed string riser sources, all recorded at 8 bars, 120bpm and set to stretch to your project tempo. Each layer is a hand-crafted riser made from tortured strings or synths, all heavily manipulated and designed to be weaved together into your own terrifying creations.
A new “length” menu allows you to play the generated riser at 2 bars, 4 bars, or 8 bars, all matching your DAW project tempo.
WAV FILES INCLUDED
Included in the Samples folder you will find a folder named ‘FMG Unstrung 2 24bit 48k Wavs’. If you prefer working with wav files, you will find an amazing amount of freedom here. That said, we suggest using the GUIs to randomize and create your basic starter sound. Then it is easy to manipulate and export to audio for further processing. Within this folder you will find 3 sub-folders with the following wav files:
- Designed Sounds: This folder contains dozens of sounds (hits, risers, rhythms and whoosh hits) all created by Unstrung 2 and then taken through more processing to be trailer-ready.
- Preset Exports: This folder contains a wav file export of each of the Riser and Hit presets found in the GUIs. If you want a quick start to adding additional processing to a preset you like, just grab these and jump in.
- Raw Sounds: In this folder you will find the individual samples used in the instruments, including the individual riser, percussion and whoosh sources.
- NOTE: After install, you will find a folder named FMG Unstrung 2 24bit 48k Wavs with all of these files. This folder will be in the Samples folder wherever you installed the instrument.
