“Pyr” is a 12 voice string model with polyphonic pitchbend support so you can play it microtonaly using ableton s microtuner or any other tuner. please note that “Pyr” requires Live 11 to run.
“Character” and “Type” control the color of the exciter, “Soften” will soften or harden the initial attack portion of the string, “Decay” controls the length of the string and “Damp” controls the harmonic decay of the string.
“Life” will add variation for each strike, “Detune” will detune the string (0-12 semitones), “Vel” controls the velocity response and “Spread” controls the stereo image.

I've been using it on recent tracks, strumming it on my Expressive E Osmose. Awesome you made it MPE-ready. Would you like to include some presets with it? I made some I can send over that would make it even easier for first-time Pyr-ians to get started with.
It's really cool to pair this with a realistic acoustic space reverb.
