Description : Electric guitar
Evolution Vintage Gent presents an exquisite hollow body electric guitar from the mid 60’s. The guitar model we sampled, one of the iconic sounds of the British Invasion era, was originally created a decade earlier in collaboration with Gretsch and legendary guitarist, sound producer and Nashville sound pioneer Chet Atkins .
This guitar represents the golden age of rock and roll, country and rockabilly. This was a time when guitarists started turning up the volume and measures had to be taken to reduce feedback while still retaining the extra volume that a hollow body provides over a solid body.
The two pickups were recorded as separate signals that can be mixed as desired, so you can get anything from the ringing tone of the bridge pickup to the meaty tone of the neck pickup and everything in between.
We developed the library in collaboration with Rosewood Recording Company, one of Utah’s most respected recording studios. Guy Randle , the company’s owner and engineer, used analog audio equipment to skillfully convey and highlight the rich tonal qualities of the instrument, available in both the original direct and amplified signals.
Evolution Vintage Gent is based on our Evolution engine, which gives you a ton of features: an innovative strumming pattern editor, automatic chord detection, and a vast collection of built-in effects. If you’ve used any of our Evolution- powered guitar or bass libraries , the interface and operation will be familiar to you.
The library contains a variety of ready-to-use presets of classic clean sounds and crunchy guitar tones.
Features :
• A collection of built-in effects for creating ready-to-play electric guitar tones
• Pattern editor and chord voicing system for authentic strumming and fingerpicking
• Adjustable pick position using our proprietary physical modeling technology
• Powerful mapping system to define how articulations are triggered using parameters like velocity ranges, MIDI CCs, latched and non-latched key switches, and more
• 9.6GB of samples (compressed to 5GB using the lossless NCW audio format)
• Articulations like sustain, palm mute, mute, and natural harmonics, plus effects like slap, soft strumming, and more
• Legato samples for slides, hammer-ons, and pull-offs
• Sampled in 3 speakers and 2 circle repeats
• NKS support
New in version 1.2.5 :
Added :
• Ability to lock individual settings and articulations, allowing you to switch snapshot presets without overwriting specific settings and mapped articulations. The old Lock Mapping setting has been removed. If this setting was used in existing projects, the new version will automatically switch them to use individual locking options
• New Performance Effect Keys
setting allows you to control the range of keys mapped to performance effects
• Tooltips
Improved :
• Fretboard display efficiency
• Interval names in pitch bend and legato range settings have been replaced with semitones
• Capo position now modulates the chord sound
• Open string legato mode now allows not only pull-off to open strings, but also hammer-on from open strings to higher notes on the fretboard
Fixed :
• Dynamic memory bug when canceling sustain articulation (try using one of the MIDI articulations, eg slide)
• Bug affecting Velocity Slide articulation in combination with sustain pedal pressed
