Pick Attack and Round Robin Sound
The developer built Achromic around a non-repeating round robin engine. It alternates two samples on either side, which the developer says removes the machine-gun effect common in sampled guitars. Separately recorded atonal pick attacks are layered on top of the notes, and a single control sets their volume. The same control also drives a transient shaper, so you can add bite to the attack when heavy distortion would otherwise swallow it.
Fret noise and release samples are also recorded individually. They trigger at random on release, and a Fret Noise knob controls their level and decay.
