Sound and Performance Design in Opacity

Opacity was created by Justin Hodges and Terre Grande, a sound design house focused on cinematic guitar. The developer describes the library as a collection of professional six-string performances and evocative guitar textures.

Each of the 14 kits includes Chords, Phrases, Sequences and Textures. Each category holds 12 performances that are key-labeled and tempo-synced to your host project, so you can pick a part that fits your key and tempo without manual retuning.

Soundbox Engine Features and Workflow

Opacity runs in the free Soundbox engine, an MPE-capable sampler. Soundbox includes a customizable modular effects chain, an LFO, a Vector engine and modulation options, along with genre and style tags for browsing sounds.

The mapping editor supports multiple velocity layers and group sections. Soundbox instruments can be exported and shared, and building custom instruments requires no code.
