Where to get itIncluded with FL Studio. It is part of that DAW, not a separate download.image-line.com

Plucked! is a physical modeling synthesizer that uses mathematical formulas to simulate the sound of a plucked string, specifically implementing the Karplus-Strong algorithm. It excels at generating realistic plucked string timbres with dynamic control over decay and tone characteristics, ideal for adding authentic string articulation to productions.
