01Overview

Panorama Acoustic Upgrade extends the Panorama Guitars line from electric guitars to acoustic ones. The developer recorded three acoustic guitars played by Matteo Nahum: a steel-string, a nylon-string and a 12-string. The library is built around the Aria Engine, which lets you layer articulations and control parameters with an XY pad. It is aimed at producers working on ambient, folk, indie and film or game scoring who want organic textures alongside the familiar Panorama sound.

03In depth

Acoustic Tones and Articulations

The library covers three acoustic guitars: a steel-string with rich, warm harmonic depth, a nylon-string that sounds delicate and intimate, and a 12-string with a shimmering, immersive quality.

Articulations range from plucked to picked and from sparse to dense. Moving the XY pad can take a sound smoothly from a soft plucked tone to a picked tone with a sharper attack. Compared with the electric version, the developer places greater emphasis on free-tempo, single-note improvisations, and adds improvisations built on fifth and octave intervals.

Tremolo articulations are included on two of the three acoustic guitars.

Aria Engine Workflow and Presets

The Aria Engine provides two fully customisable layers, each loaded with the same articulations. You can blend between variants, stack or crossfade the layers, and assign any parameter to the X or Y axis, including filter, volume and panning.

You can record your own XY motions, save them as presets and change their playback speed. The library also accepts your own samples for import.

The library includes over 100 presets in six categories: natural improvisations, processed improvisations, motions, single strokes, sound design and tremolos.
