What's that sound: classic disco "fast strings"
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>I know that the classic slow phaser-y strings from disco songs are made with the ARP/Solina string ensemble. What about the fast 16th-note string riffs really popular in the late 70s? Example: Cerrone - Give Me Love <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCP1m2ly_r0">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCP1m2ly_r0</a></p> <p>Maybe this is also Solina but the effects definitely sound different, with a faster attack and no phaser for sure. Does anyone have any idea how that sound is made? When I was a younger listener I always thought these strings were real recorded orchestra parts. But I'm looking in that music video and I don't see anyone playing the violin!</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/BENWILEY4000"> /u/BENWILEY4000 </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/u75ufb/whats_that_sound_classic_disco_fast_strings/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/u75ufb/whats_that_sound_classic_disco_fast_strings/">[comments]</a></span>
