03In depth

Acoustic Guitar Sounds for Cinematic Scoring

The library covers a range of guitar content for scoring. Nylon and steel-string pedals add movement and tension to a cue, while melodic pulses and phrases give a score a rhythmic anchor. For more atmospheric work, the acoustic guitarscapes blend organic guitar samples with hybrid sound design.

The content is organized into categories including Acoustic Guitarscapes, Melodic Pulses and Phrases, Performance Palettes in A minor and E minor, Rhythmic Harmonies in nylon and steel, and Pads.

Workflow with GRAVITY Presets and Motion Controls

Scoring Acoustic Guitars includes 40 Snapshot Presets and more than 300 Motion Presets. A Motion page lets you build advanced volume, pitch and pan patterns, and Playable Trigger FX allow real-time control while you perform.

The library is powered by the GRAVITY engine, which Heavyocity has recognized with awards. It runs as a Kontakt instrument, so you load it inside Kontakt rather than as a separate application.
