Sonuscore Origins Vol.6: Muted Guitar & Harmonics

[Note: This product requires a FULL version of Native Instruments' KONTAKT. The free Kontakt player is not sufficient, as it only runs the instrument in DEMO mode.]

Two electric guitars – played and processed totally differently – immediately carry you to a modern world of sound. Opening the whole spectrum: From delicate designed to rich and cinematic patches, it serves the sonority and flexibility, which made the guitar one of the most formative instruments of our time.

For this very special ORIGINS, Sonuscore collaborated with the famous composer Mats Lundgren (Just Cause 2, Mad Max [Videogame], Generation Zero) from Pole Position Production. Mats recorded the guitars and processed them with his extraordinary precision.

Powered by Mats’ incredible experience in working with electronic sounds and merged by our successful MAD engine, we proudly present:

Electric Guitar Muted

2006 Fender Stratocaster American Deluxe Stratocaster with Samarium Cobalt pickups

The muted guitar provides a very calm, but rich sound. It gives an incredible warm intonation overall when used as the base of a harmonic structure. With the Multi-Arpeggio-Designer [MAD] you can give the instrument a characteristic, modern, sometimes futuristic feel. Paired with the Harmonics, you achieve a very balanced and wide sound, right on the modern pulse of time.

Electric Guitar Harmonics

2003 Gibson SG with Seymour Duncan Phat Cat Pickups

With its shimmering, floating sound, the Harmonics are the perfect addition to the Palm Mutes. Create lively ambient pads or run impressive modern-sounding arpeggios with it: The possibilities are endless and usually just one preset away.

MULTI-ARPEGGIO-DESIGNER

The Multi-Arpeggio-Designer is the centerpiece of every ORIGINS instrument. Two fully customizable arpeggiators create interlocking patterns and broad soundscapes by combining the unique timbres of the two instruments. The engine is designed to convey a musically meaningful, human performance, instead of a computer randomly aligning notes. Load up one of 80 inspiring presets or create your own modern guitar arpeggios in as much detail as you like. The MAD provides a variety of different features and controls to realize your musical vision.
