01Overview

Velvet Chic is the first Strum sound pack from producer and keyboard player Thiago Pinheiro, built around R&B guitar. It covers styles from the genre's early roots through its modern form, from soft chord voicings to dreamy, atmospheric textures. The bank is designed for producers who want soulful guitar parts in their R&B tracks without playing guitar themselves. Its strumming patterns work with your own chord progressions, so the guitar can follow the harmony you already have.

R&B Guitar Sounds and Strumming Patterns

Velvet Chic gathers 12 R&B styles, with 84 guitar presets and 84 strumming patterns. The range runs from gentle chord whispers to more textured, atmospheric parts that sit alongside a groove. The presets are meant to add sweet or intricate soulful guitar to R&B songs.

The strumming patterns can be played with your own chord progressions, so you can shape the guitar part around your arrangement. The developer describes the sounds as tailored for passionate producers, and the set is built around the genre's history, from its beginnings to its contemporary sound.
