Product Overview

Details

The library features ten distinct guitars, offering a range of articulations and pickup choices, including octave up/down combinations and “shimmer” samples. The “Extra” sound menu expands the palette with additional acoustic instruments and analog synths. Guitar Swell includes 24 “Ambient Swell” patches designed for atmospheric layering, alongside 12 “Player” patches for more direct performance.

One of the standout features is the ability to pitch bend strings independently or simultaneously, allowing for seamless chord transitions. The instrument's interface supports a virtual volume pedal, enabling dynamic swelling of the guitar signal through effects like reverb and delay. This flexibility makes it suitable for scoring contexts that require evocative soundscapes and haunting transitions.
