01Overview

Origins Vol.6 pairs two individually playable guitar instruments: a warm, calm muted guitar and a shimmering harmonics patch. Sonuscore developed it with composer Mats Lundgren, who recorded and processed the guitars. The instrument runs in Kontakt and ranges from delicate to rich, cinematic patches. Its Multi-Arpeggio-Designer turns chords and melodies played on a keyboard into modern guitar arpeggio patterns.

03In depth

Muted guitar and harmonics sound and character

The muted guitar is described as calm but rich, with a warm tone when used as the base of a harmonic structure. The harmonics patch has a shimmering, floating character that suits it as a companion to the palm mutes.

Used together, the two instruments can produce lively ambient pads or sharper modern arpeggios. Sonuscore notes that the two can be layered so each timbre plays off the other.

Multi-arpeggio designer and colour settings

The Multi-Arpeggio-Designer (MAD) uses two fully customizable arpeggiators that create interlocking patterns by combining the two instruments. Its 80 rhythm presets give a starting point, and existing arpeggio designs can be copied and pasted into other Origins instruments.

The 12 colour settings each carry their own effect chain and impulse responses, and every MAD preset is assigned one, so combinations can be mixed at will.
