Edinburgh, Scotland, 4th March 2026. Sonora Cinematic has announced the release of Pure Steel String – the follow up to the recent Pure Nylon and the latest addition to the developer’s series of instruments for Audiomodern’s customizable MPE sampler – Soundbox.
Where Pure Nylon offered warmth and intimacy, Pure Steel String brings vibrancy and definition. Bright, crisp and resonant, it’s the unmistakable sound that has shaped folk, rock, blues, pop and countless contemporary productions.
Pure Steel String focuses on four main articulations – Dynamic Plucked, Dynamic Picked, Harmonics and Mod-Wheel Controlled Tremolo. Every articulation is crafted for dynamic performance, offering a natural and organic playing experience. What’s more, thanks to Soundbox’s MPE-ready workflow, the instrument responds beautifully to MPE controllers for a wonderfully natural vibrato.
Similarly to its counterpart, Pure Steel String goes beyond acoustic sampling by adding a collection of creative tools for sound design. These include expressive improvisations full of character and musicality, a mod-wheel controlled patch to layer in 5th and octave flowing arpeggios, vector-controlled soundscapes for evolving ethereal textures, creative sequences and more.
Designed For Soundbox
Pure Steel String is designed for Soundbox v1.2 – a customizable MPE sampler which is available to download for free from the Audiomodern website, and works on Mac, Windows and iOS. The release joins Sonora Cinematic’s growing lineup of Soundbox instruments which also includes Post-Rock Guitars Vol 1 & 2, Transfigured Orchestra 1& 2, Aethervox, Pure Nylon, Dark Veil and more.
