What Symphonic Guitars does
The library contains 50 instruments in total, including variations and effects. Its sounds are orchestral in character but are made entirely from guitars, because the developer set out to create original cinematic sounds rather than to replicate an orchestral library. The recreated instruments are cello, viola, violin and flute, plus a horn sound, and each is reached through a different playing technique.
The developer describes using the violin bow on the first two strings for a violin sound, and the sixth string, which sounds thicker, for cello. Long notes, staccato short notes and pizzicato are captured depending on the instrument, and changing where the bow sits gives a different instrument. Other techniques include pulling strings while muting them. All material was recorded with four microphones: two XY small-diaphragm condensers, one large-diaphragm and one further mic. Versions with effects are offered for usable sounds in different styles.
Queries pair the name with keygen and serial key, and a working serial is the string most often typed next to it.
Key features
- Guitar-only orchestral sounds. Every orchestral sound is produced from guitars, so the sound palette is built on guitar recordings rather than sampled orchestral sections.
- Bow and string technique. Violin and cello sounds come from a bow on the first two strings or on the sixth string, and the choice of string changes the instrument produced.
- Long, staccato and pizzicato articulations. Depending on the instrument, the recordings include sustained long notes, short staccato notes and pizzicato plucks.
- Bow position. The point at which the bow is placed on the string determines which instrument the sound resembles.
- Crack, keygen and serial variants. Searches for a Symphonic Guitars keygen or working serial key return the same release, so the crack files are listed alongside the library itself.
Compatibility
It requires macOS 10.11 or Windows 8 as a minimum, lists native support for Apple Silicon, and needs 8 GB of RAM and 1.35 GB of disk space.
