Session Guitarist - Electric Neon Essentials is a Kontakt instrument from Native Instruments that provides electric guitar sounds, riffs and lead lines built for EDM, modern pop and synth-forward production.
Session Guitarist - Electric Neon Essentials is a guitar instrument designed for electronic music production. It runs inside Kontakt and is built around a Strat-inspired electric tone with active pickups. Instead of recreating classic guitar sounds, it focuses on mix-ready elements for club grooves and pop textures, with rhythm and melody content prepared for those genres. Native Instruments describes the sounds as ready to sit in a mix without extensive tweaking.
The instrument includes two playing approaches. A rhythm-based pattern instrument provides riffs and rhythmic figures, while a lead or melody instrument offers detailed articulations for playing lines.
Both are built on the Strat-inspired electric tone with active pickups, so you can move between rhythmic hooks and melodic lines within the same sound palette. Curated riffs and lead lines are included for pop and electronic genres.
The package contains 30 effects and amp chains designed to complement electronic productions. The presets range from punchy, club-ready tones to lush, atmospheric textures.
The chains are meant to be used as a starting point for building a guitar sound that fits a synth-heavy arrangement. The instrument runs in Kontakt 8 and is integrated with NKS, so it can be browsed alongside other NKS-compatible instruments.
