Sound Character and Available Content

The core of the library is 12 plucked notes recorded from a six-stringed electric baritone guitar, with both clean and distorted presets. Soundiron also includes 11 Ambience patches created from the same source material, which move the guitar toward atmospheric textures.

The instrument ships with 81 stereo samples in 24-bit / 48 kHz uncompressed PCM WAV format, taking up about 450 MB once installed. An open-format Kontakt NKI master bank is included alongside 12 SFZ presets.

Controls, Modulation and FX Rack

The Kontakt interface offers multi-layer controls for swell, attack, release, offset, vibrato, filter, coarse and fine pitch, articulation switching, cross-fading and layering. Each control can be automated.

A flexible LFO system lets you choose the shape, modulation target, speed, intensity, tempo sync and fade-in time. The arpeggiator includes a velocity table and control over direction, timing, swing, randomization and duration, and a key and scale lock keeps melodies within chosen scales.

The full FX rack includes convolution reverb with custom rooms, halls, chambers and FX environments, plus 20 sound-designed FX presets for Kontakt 5.5 and later.
