The important thing, though, is that if you want a range of well-sampled guitars, powered by an engine that will let you use them to create 'photo real' performances, Electri6ity will step up and deliver, regardless of the musical style you prefer to play. You'll need to commit to Electri6ity, as its almost overwhelming range of performance options take some learning. We could see ourselves using this integrated solution rather than simply firing up Guitar Rig, Amplitube or Amp Designer as a default option.Įlectri6ity is a phenomenal library and certainly represents the most comprehensively sampled and organised virtual guitar system we've seen to date. The results are excellent and by no means a 'cheap add on' to the DI alternatives. You can choose between Dry, Medium and Wet room treatments and independently bypass one or either of the Drive and Amp stages of the amp model you build. There are seven 'modelling' types available including Modern, Metal, British and Classic, with three microphone positions available. The second is a 'Screamer' pedal style distortion unit with tone controls, overdrive and amount dials while the final section provides amp modelling.

The first is a multi-effects unit with phaser, flanger, chorus, reverb and delay algorithms, one of which can be selected to provide a series of parameter dials. Electri6ity's EffectsĬhoose an 'Amped' guitar and you'll find the instrument loads with its own 'Effects' tab within which you'll find three custom effects generators. The most comprehensive of these is the Settings page, which contains a multitude of parameters in various categories, so that you can choose how the strings are tuned or will resonate, how wide vibrato will be for notes that exceed the automatic vibrato threshold or how quickly you want slides to perform to name but four parameters.Īt both extremes of the keyboard range, a huge number of articulation possibilities are provided to help you effortlessly switch from sustains to mutes to bends to strums to slides to picks and so on. Once you've loaded an instrument, three tabs (or four for Amped models) let you get down to the nitty gritty of setting up your chosen guitar. The latter two are offered to dramatically decrease load times which will prove useful.
#Vir2 electri6ity rickenbacker amped full
Within Kontakt, full versions of the instruments are available in both 'DI' and 'Amped' forms, with 'full', 'sustain only' and 'muted' versions. However, if you want to get involved, rather than let the engine do all of the work for you, pretty much any parameter you can think of can be manipulated via control changes or key switching, so you can hone the guitar of your choice to your own setup and playing style. Vir2 have extensively programmed AMT (Articulation Morphing Technology) and VMT (Velocity Morphing Technology) scripts into Electri6ity's GUI so that, as you play, the engine carefully analyses your performance and uses your playing style and velocity response, for example, to instantaneously switch between samples and playback styles. The realism goes on, as you can choose the release mode in performance, with finger noise, hand mutes and pick noise just three of 14 separate release 'types'.īy now you might well be wondering how all of this is selected and intuitively 'playable' and that's where the magic of the Kontakt engine takes over. Playing modes vary between polyphonic, monophonic and both sustained and muted legato, with slides and other techniques available in all modes for lots of real-time performance enhancement.
