Evolution Rubber Bridge

• Acoustic/electric rubber bridge guitar library designed for expressive performances.
• Requires Kontakt.

Product Overview

Evolution Rubber Bridge features a unique acoustic/electric rubber bridge guitar, recorded from a nearly century-old parlor guitar. This library captures the instrument's distinct tonal qualities, blending a crisp acoustic sound with a rich, punchy pickup signal, making it suitable for indie rock and pop contexts.

Details

The library includes a variety of articulations such as sustains, palm mutes, and natural harmonics, along with special effects like string slaps and body hits. Each articulation is recorded with three dynamic layers and four round-robins, ensuring a nuanced performance. The guitar is tuned down a whole step from standard tuning, providing a deeper tonal range.

Recorded with both a classic Tokyo-style gold foil pickup and stereo mic signals, users can blend these sources to achieve the desired sound. The Evolution engine enhances playability with features like a strumming pattern editor, automatic chord detection, and a collection of built-in effects. Factory presets cater to both acoustic and electric tones, allowing for quick access to a variety of sounds. The interface is designed for intuitive use, especially for those familiar with other libraries using the Evolution engine.
