Description

Monkey Orchestra is a piano-string-modeling synthesizer by Mokafix with 88 independent keys. Different keyboard ranges trigger one, two, or three strings, and all 226 strings can be tuned individually, giving the instrument an unusually deep route into detuned and resonant piano-like textures.

The strings are fed by very short samples, while many controls can be driven by LFOs or a peak follower. The listing provides a Win32 VST version 1.02 at 4.0 MB, making it a useful experimental instrument for prepared-keyboard tones, unstable plucks, and animated resonances.
