Wavelore – GLIDE II: Electric Slide Guitar 1x RR (KONTAKT)

Wavelore GLIDE II: Electric Slide Guitar
Based on the original GLIDE: Resonator Slide Guitar, GLIDE II offers the same unprecedented control over expressive factors and human-like performance elements that makes GLIDE: RSG irreplaceable, but this time, in the form of an electric guitar.
Take advantage of the humanized pitch and vibrato, as well as randomized phrase timing and velocity to emulate a real player’s natural imperfections, and adjust these factors to taste. Choose from either of two amp models and a chain of guitar effects with a plethora of possible settings to get just the right tone. Switch between the two pickups of this dual humbucker style guitar in real-time, and use any of our factory phrases, or sequence and store your own!
As with all our hybrid instruments, a multitude of onboard controls let you tweak the instrument’s advanced behavioral model to suit your taste and style to a tee, or you can simply ignore it all and play using Wavelore’s impeccable out-of-the-box programming .

Note: This library requires Native Instruments’ Kontakt 4 or 5 software sampler.

Library Features:

• 8-way round robin samples (7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 round-robin versions also included) in 6 velocities, recorded with the pick at three different locations along the lengths of all six strings.
• Three different types of release samples, also in 8-way round-robin: Pick Damp, Palm Damp, and Slide Damp.
• Sequence your own picking patterns – from sustaining one-shots of any combination of strings to travis picking, arpeggios, tremolos, etc, etc. There are no limits to the possibilities! Assign your favorite patterns to your choice of keyswitches, save them as user presets, or use any of our pre-arranged factory presets, covering chords, tremolos, double-stops, and various arpeggios.
• Custom configuration of velocity curve for each articulation
• Set tempo by MIDI CC, tap-tempo or sync to host.
• Resonance-free samples with formant-corrected crossfading, fed through am/room resonance impulse responses allowing endless possibilities for realistic slides of any speed or length.
• Use the sustain pedal to re-trigger, pause, or sustain sequences; Perform articulation swaps, re-arrange sequences as chord strums, and lock strings to open drones, all on the fly!
• Realtime de/activation of pick attack noise with multiple controls for attack volume lets you add just the right amount of grit to your performances.
• Super-accurate tracking of note volume and pitch allows release samples to blend perfectly every time.
• Fully automatable and ultra tweakable slide noise (scratching) during slides and/or vibrato.
• Pitch humanization – have your virtual guitarist “miss” notes by adjustable amounts, then “wait”, then “correct”…have the vital player over or under-compensate for inaccuracies. Fully adjustable with 10 factory presets from “perfect” to “drunken amateur”.
• Playing legato to the lowest note triggers true legato “pull-off”, where the slide is lifted to sound the open string(s) with a buzzy transition.
• A full color, 31-page .pdf user guide with quick-start guide, detailed descriptions of all interface elements, and a full appendix detailing the 15 factory banks of sequences.
• Much, much more!
