01Overview

Session Guitarist - Electric Vintage focuses on the twang of a six-string solid-body electric guitar. Its sound is captured from a late-1950s model built in the USA. Rather than playing every note yourself, you build parts from a large library of strummed patterns, picked arpeggios, glissandos, tremolos and dead notes. The library also includes a separate melody instrument for writing your own solos. The instrument requires Kontakt.

03In depth

Guitar Sound and Pattern Library

Native Instruments describes Electric Vintage as capturing the sound of one of the world's most versatile electric guitars, recorded from an original late-1950s model built in the USA.

The core of the instrument is a library of over 230 strummed and picked patterns. These cover riffs, glissandos, tremolos and dead notes, so you can layer rhythmic and melodic textures without programming each note by hand.

Because the patterns can be combined in many ways, the instrument suits a wide range of styles, including pop, rock, funk, dance, hip-hop and film scoring.

Workflow and New Features

The current version adds MIDI drag and drop, so you can move patterns from the instrument straight into your sequencer. Updated riff and phrase modes help you shape how patterns play back.

Next-gen NKS support provides integration with Native Kontrol Standard workflows. The included melody instrument gives you a separate voice for solos on top of the pattern-based parts.
