01Overview

Scoring Guitars 2 is designed for composers who want guitar textures with an edgier, more driven character. The library focuses on rhythmic pedals, melodic pulses, pads and atmospheric beds, giving sound designers and scoring producers a broad palette to draw from. Heavyocity's Neil Goldberg recorded the material, which was processed through overdrive and studio effects before being mixed and shaped into the label's hybrid sound.

Sound Character and Content Types

The library is built around guitar material pushed into saturation. Rhythmic pedals and melodic pulses supply motion, while complex pads and ambient beds and drones provide sustained layers. Content is available both wet and dry for the pulses, phrases and pedals, so you can choose between processed character and a more neutral starting point.

The developer describes the set as a cinematic sequel with more edge than the original, and the 5.33 GB uncompressed library includes 380+ NKIs and 300+ Motion Presets for quick access to ready-made patches.

Workflow Tools and Performance Controls

The Motion page lets you build volume, pitch and pan patterns for more advanced movement. Playable Trigger FX provide real-time control during performance, and 12 Performance Palettes plus 3 Xtra Playables give you additional ways to play the instrument live.

The library ships as a direct download only and is available in Stand-alone, VST, AU and AAX formats.
