Big Fish Audio Raging Guitars

Raging Guitars description:

This is the guitar onslaught you've been waiting for! A guitar virtual instrument done right, with multiple amps and levels of distortion, mono and stereo files, and extra long files so you don't run out of guitar in the middle of a riff. Sustained notes, chugs, hammer-ons, bends and lots more, so you can create your own guitar parts. Also included: bonus guitar loops that can be time stretched to match the tempo of your tune automatically. We've packaged this giant wall of sound into a Kontakt Player plug-in for the ultimate in playability. The product ships with 3 DVDs, over 11 gigabytes of data, and absolute maximum rock n' roll.

"Raging Guitars" features dozens of different patches chromatically sampled at various distortion levels with various tones and articulations. Sections include: Chords, Chugs, Construction Kits, Extras, Hammer-ons, Muted, Octaves, and Single Notes. In the Chords folder, you'll find major, minor, add9, and power chords all sampled at various levels of distortion. Also provided are keyswitch patches, enabling you to build a song using any combination of the different types of chords. Seventeen Construction Kits are provided, with prebuilt riffs and variations, in a variety of keys and tempos. All can be tempo-synced or can be played in slices. The Extras section contains guitar-related special effects, such as feedback, fret noise, mute strums, and more. The Chugs, Hammer-ons, Muted, Octaves, and Single Notes folders all contain numerous variations on those specific articulations, some sampled in mono and some in stereo, at various distortion levels. Many feature mod wheel switching to let you access multiple articulations at once.

The 24 Bit Kontakt Player version includes a specialized version of the Native Instruments Kontakt software. This makes it possible to play Raging Guitars right away, standalone or as a plug-in (VST, RTAS, DXi, AU) in most sequencers running Mac OSX or Windows. The Kontakt player gives you access to 8 custom knobs which include attack, release, lo eq, high eq, reverb, volume and tune.
