Is computer code now a ‘machine’ ?
Something comical about the description of this being a ‘machine’.
It’s a sample library of vintage string machines. That’s just how these instruments are called. The product itself is not described as a “machine” anywhere.
String machines weren’t full-fledged synths, (lack of individual envelooes, for example). But they were more advanced than organs.
The big thing was that they gave you full polyphony and ‘synthy’ sounds at a time when monophonic synths were still very expensive.
