Description : The library consists of two electric guitars, played and processed in completely different ways, which will immediately take you to the modern world of sound. Opening the whole spectrum: from delicate design to rich and cinematic patches, it embodies sonority and flexibility, which made the guitar one of the most musical-creating instruments of our time.
For this special Origins library, Sonuscore collaborated with famed composer Mats Lundgren (Just Cause 2, Mad Max [Videogame], Generation Zero) from Pole Position Production. Mats recorded the guitars and crafted them with extraordinary precision. Thanks to Mats’s incredible electronic sound experience and combined with our successful MAD engine, we are proud to present Origins vol. 6: Muted Guitar & Harmonics!
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.
Amp: Handwired Marshall 1974X 18w class A
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 arpeggios in as much detail as you like. The MAD provides a variety of different features and controls to realize your musical vision.

The beast is unleashed at 2:26 . According to an interview with Guitar Player magazine, Al Di Meola’s greatest aspiration was to be a timbale player, a la Tito Puente. However, still living with his parents in an apartment, timbales wasn’t such a great choice; he chose instead to become a guitarist. His palm mute technique was developed so he could practice without disturbing anyone 🙂
