It includes over 408 high-quality 24-bit samples, a 5-octave key range and a set of built-in effects, including delay, reverb, filter, movement and trash.

Sound Sources and Character

Oracle is built from guitar samples recorded across three pickup positions: bridge, middle and neck. Each position gives a different tonal starting point, so you can move from brighter, more defined tones to softer, rounder ones without changing instruments.

Four amp and cabinet combinations shape the core sound. Together with the built-in reverb, delay and filter, the instrument is set up for dreamy, spacious textures rather than dry, direct guitar tones.

Workflow, Controls and Effects

The built-in effects cover delay, reverb, filter, movement and trash. A dedicated LFO/Stutter effect is time-synced to your DAW, which lets rhythmic movement lock to your project tempo.

The interface is fully automatable, so you can draw in changes to filter, effects and other parameters over the course of a arrangement. The developer describes the interface as designed for creativity, with a focus on quick results.

Requirements and Who It Is For

Oracle is a Kontakt instrument and requires the full version of Kontakt 5.8 or later. It will not work in the free Kontakt Player. The installed library uses about 1.38 GB of disk space, with 4.24 GB of samples compressed into that footprint. The system requirements list 4 GB of RAM, with 8 GB recommended, and a stable internet connection for download.

It suits producers working on ambient, cinematic or atmospheric music who want guitar-derived pads and textures without building them from scratch.
