Kithara

• Cinematic guitar library: an eclectic collection of guitars and plucked strings assembled into a four‑layer engine.
• True Mapping keeps key ranges and triggers coherent across layers; Tightness control refines timing response.
• Flexible modulation for volume, pan, tuning and FX; aftertouch/velocity assignments for live shaping.
• Kontakt / Kontakt Player compatible.

Product Overview

KITHARA is a cinematic guitar library built from a mix of guitars and plucked string instruments from around the world. A four‑layer engine lets you stack complementary sources for pads, patterns or lead textures, while True Mapping maintains sensible note ranges and triggering across layers. It’s designed for hands‑on performance with modulation that encourages evolving tone rather than static presets.

Details

Core controls include velocity and aftertouch assignments, modulation over volume, pan, tuning and effect depth, and a Tightness parameter to rein in transient timing for rhythmic clarity. Snapshots range from delicate, glassy beds to driven plucks suitable for modern drama and documentary scoring.

The options page exposes deeper setup—key ranges, triggering rules and controller routing—so you can tailor response to your keyboard style. Because it runs in Kontakt / Kontakt Player, KITHARA can live alongside orchestral and synth libraries with minimal setup overhead.
