About AIR Music Technology Solina 1.2.1.14 for Mac
Solina is a virtual instrument plugin from AIR Music Technology that recreates the iconic Solina String Ensemble, a classic 6-timbre polyphonic keyboard instrument that shaped the sound of string machines across decades of music production. AIR Music Technology, the developer behind the AIR Creative FX suite bundled with Pro Tools since Version 8, brought Solina to plugin format after it was originally exclusive to AKAI Professional's MPC and Force hardware systems. The plugin recreates six classic timbres — Contrabass, Cello, Viola, Violin, Trumpet, and Horn — each with independent volume, pan, and pitch control, letting users layer and blend them for a richer, more massive sonic result than the original hardware allowed. Using AIR's proprietary dynamic modeling, built from a combination of optimized sampling and modeling techniques developed over more than 20 years, Solina aims for highly realistic recreations of the original instrument's character and dynamic response. Solina 1.2.1.14 is part of AIR's actively maintained plugin line, following recent updates that added optimized native Apple Silicon support, improved DAW compatibility, mono-to-mono effect processing, and a new license deactivation option. The plugin requires a current macOS version (12 through 15, supporting both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs) and runs as VST, VST3, AU, or AAX, as well as a standalone application.
