Ready to Rock!

No fakes, no mimics, no imitation
It’s a true deep-sampled superstrat transformed into a
virtual guitar sample library

45 GB Bridge Humbucker DI-sample material (compressed to 24 GB)
60 000+ Samples / 23 Articulations with a total of 97 Subarticulations /
38 GB true Chord Sample Section

Having recorded an Ibanez-RG-Series guitar with unparalleled detail, we tried to capture the essential nuances of rock guitar playing, re-creating the almost perfect emulation of a rock guitar. We recorded the pure direct-in-signal (DI) of the bridge humbucker pickup, so you can sculpture the sound to your taste. Run it through a professional amp simulation and enjoy!

CHORD LIBRARY

Unlike other sample libraries, ULTIMATE ROCK GUITAR comes with a huge palette of pre-recorded chord samples. The reason is evident: It sounds better, tighter, much more realistic.
Therefore we recorded all the chords inevitable for authentic rock guitar tracks. But not enough! We painstakingly recorded them in detail, resulting in up to 4 velocity layers, upstrokes, various palm-mutes, slide-in, slides, hammer-ons and pull-offs.
To accomplish the chord section, we recorded a bunch of SPECIAL CHORDS, mainly open stringed chords. All together summing up to 38 GB of pre-recorded chord samples, an effort other companies did not even consider!

KEYSWITCHES & VELOCITY MAPPING

Free assignable keyswitches, velocity split keyswitches and velocity layer mappings give you the opportunity to customize how articulations are mapped and triggered! This allows you to create the setup that perfectly meets your needs.

SKINS

Ultimate Rock Guitar allows you to setup your own guitar skin. This seems to be only a cool gimmick at first glimpse, but it becomes helpful if you are using more than one instance of ULTIMATE-ROCK-GUITAR-6 in your project. Each skin is stored with the selected Guitar/Random-Mode.
Choose from 20 factory skin presets or choose different guitar-bodies, necks, and pickups to create your own guitar setup.
