Letting you get to grips with the majority of the full Shreddage 3 feature set, and drawing on enough of the Stratus samplebank to make it genuinely useful in its own right, Stratus 3 Free is an essential download for every KONTAKT user.įor the final entry, we’re stretching the definition of “guitar” a little – but it’s worth it. The beautiful scripted interface puts keyswitch-based performance control front and centre up to 16 effects can be racked up from a library of 30 guitar-orientated modules and the TACT (Total Articulation Control Technology) page facilitates customization of the Sustain and Mute articulation mappings.

Capturing a Fender Stratocaster in four articulations (Sustains, Palm Mutes, Release Noises and Chokes) over three octaves (12 frets), with up to three dynamic layers and four round robins, it’s easily enough to get the job done for mix-ready lead and rhythm parts, the latter assisted by the handy Strumming mode.

Impact Soundworks’ Shreddage series of massively multisampled virtual electric guitars is widely acclaimed for its dazzling sound and stellar playability, and Stratus Free gives you more than just a taste of the full Shreddage 3 Stratus.

As well as the main rhythm guitar instrument, you get four ‘Licks’ patches, too, each providing a collection of riffs, widdles and incidental bits and pieces for elaborating on the central strums.Īlthough evidently intended to serve as a pre-production tool first and foremost, there’s no reason why Songwriting Guitar shouldn’t also be used in actual projects – it sounds great, and is certainly more versatile than first appearances might lead you to believe. Three guitars are involved – an ESP LTD Deluxe, an Epiphone Custom and a Fender Strat TexMex, all plugged into a 1962 Drawmer preamp – and you get a good degree of governance over the sound thanks to the onboard EQ, envelope controls, filter and LFO-driven gate. Aimed at songwriters looking to conjure up instant acoustic and electric guitar parts for compositional purposes, 8dio’s cleverly constructed library lets you trigger major and minor chord loops in all 12 keys, with four keyswitching strumming rhythms and 12 keyswitching effects.
