Kromium.
Abstract cello and violin textures for tense scores.
£35
Overview
Strings that refuse to behave.
Kromium treats cellos and violins as raw material rather than an orchestra section, bending their playing into tense, unsettled textures instead of a polished ensemble sound. It loads into Audiomodern's free Soundbox sampler, which runs as a VST3, AU or AAX plugin or standalone on macOS and Windows, with every preset fully unlocked for reshaping. Composers and sound designers can reach for it when a film score or experimental piece needs unease rather than lushness.
