Information: THE AMBIENT GUITAR SOUND YOU KNOW AND LOVE
Guitar Swell is a virtual library of instrument samples meant to quickly create an exciting guitar performance worthy of a soundtrack.
Play melodies, parts, and chords freely. Or play individual and auto-generated chords from individual keys to build easy-to-play progressions with no wrong notes.
Make evocative and haunting transitions by pitch-bending strings - independently and/or simultaneously - to create chord changes that morph together, uninterrupted.
Elevate the sound with a wide variety of patches, all of which layer the guitar with other natural instruments, analog synths, or additional guitars.
Further the atmospherics by swelling the guitar's signal through the virtual volume pedal and into an amp, reverb, delay, and slew of other effects.
With its ten guitars, one-of-a-kind interface, and feature set, Guitar Swell drives to expand what's possible with an ambient guitar sound.
Why is it called GUITAR SWELL?
SWELL refers to a technique in which a guitarist uses a pedal (or knob) to bring the volume up after striking the strings.
Doing this, combined with delay and reverb effects can create a "pad" sound.
