Three Acoustic Guitars and Their Tones

The library features a steel-string acoustic, a nylon-string guitar and a 12-string guitar. Sonora Cinematic describes the steel-string as rich and warm with harmonic depth, the nylon-string as delicate and intimate, and the 12-string as ethereal and shimmering.

Each instrument offers a range of articulations, from plucked to picked and from sparse to dense. The library places a strong emphasis on free-tempo one-note improvisations, which suit ambient arrangements that need depth and movement.

Aria Engine and Presets for Production

The Aria Engine provides two customizable layers, each loaded with the same articulations. You can blend between variants, stack or crossfade the layers, and assign parameters such as filter, volume or panning to the X or Y axis of the XY pad.

Recorded XY motions can be stored as presets and played back at adjustable speeds. The library also includes over 100 presets in six categories: natural improvisations, processed improvisations, motions, single strokes, sound design and tremolos. You can also import your own samples into the engine.
