Get the full expressiveness and natural sound of string instruments, right in your Reason Rack. Use Friktion to create string parts that are far closer to real-life bowed instrument performances than you could ever get with any sample library.

Friktion is a physical modeling string instrument from Reason Studios.

With clever control keys you can easily play it in a way that simply sounds real. Whether it's a violin or an imaginary space harp is up to you.
