03In depth

Sound and Articulations

The Deluxe version includes two articulations. The Plectrum articulation covers picked playing, while the Fingered articulation adds finger-style articulations for a more natural feel. Together they let you move between tight, rhythmic parts and softer melodic lines within the same instrument.

The pattern instrument handles rhythm-based parts, and the lead instrument covers melodic lines with detailed articulations. Native Instruments says the sounds are designed to sit in a mix without extensive tweaking.

Effects, Amp Presets and Workflow

The library includes 30 FX and amp chains. The developer describes them as ranging from punchy club-ready tones to lush, atmospheric textures, so you can shape a guitar part toward a specific genre without building a signal chain from scratch.

The instrument is integrated with NKS, which allows browsing and loading through compatible hardware and software. No guitar playing skills are needed to use the patterns and riffs as a starting point.
