Details

The library features a wide range of articulations, including fingerstyle and picked options, with combinations of open and palm-muted techniques. Additional articulations such as slapping and popping enhance its versatility. Each articulation is recorded with three dynamic layers and four round-robins, ensuring a realistic performance. The pickups were recorded as separate signals, allowing for blending between the bright attack of the bridge pickup and the warm sustain of the neck pickup.

Developed in collaboration with Rosewood Recording Company, the instrument benefits from analog audio equipment that emphasizes its tonal qualities. The Evolution engine provides a flexible mapping system, built-in effects, and customizable settings to tailor the instrument to specific performance needs. This makes it suitable for various scoring contexts, from rock to cinematic compositions.
