Description : Electric guitar
The Evolution Texas Twang is a custom Tele-style electric guitar with two single-coil pickups. The bridge pickup provides that nasal tone perfect for percussive chicken picking and bright crunchy tones, while the neck pickup provides a mellow tone suitable for softer playing. Since we recorded both pickups separately, you can mix and match any combination you want.
Experienced session guitarist and up-and-coming country singer Chris Bullard was brought in to record the samples . His experience as a touring artist in Texas and Nashville lends an air of authenticity to the samples. The clarity and grace of his performance is heard in the many articulations included in the library, from picking to especially sought-after country articulations such as fingerpicking in the chicken picking technique.
The library was developed in collaboration with William Dergank , who oversaw the development of the project. He also edited samples and contributed to the creation of presets. His attention to detail was invaluable, setting a high bar for the quality of the library.
The sample set was also run through a distortion pedal as a boosted signal. This pedal, well known among country guitarists, is modeled after the legendary warm, distorted sound of the Trainwreck amp.
Evolution Texas Twang is powered by our Evolution engine, which gives you a ton of features: an innovative strumming pattern editor, automatic chord detection, and a powerful built-in effects engine. The library contains a variety of ready-to-use presets of classic and modern country electric guitar sounds that fit perfectly into the mix.
Features :
• Onboard effects engine for instant access to country electric guitar tones
• Adjustable pick position using our proprietary physical modeling technology
• Powerful mapping system that lets you define how articulations are triggered using parameters like velocity ranges, MIDI CCs, latching and non-latching key switches, and more
• Up to 4x multitracking
• 21GB of samples (compressed to 8.92GB using the NCW lossless audio format)
• Articulations like sustain, palm mute, mute, natural harmonics, open/soft chicken picking, and effects like slap, soft strum, and more
• MIDI articulations for instant octaves, grace notes, trills, whole-step slides, whole-step hammer-ons, and velocity-linked slides and tempo
• Legato samples for slides, hammer-ons and pull-offs
• Sampled in 3 dynamics and 4 circle repeats
• NKS support
New in version 1.2.5 :
Added :
• Ability to lock individual settings and articulations, allowing you to switch snapshot presets without overwriting specific settings and mapped articulations. The old Lock Mapping setting has been removed. If this setting was used in existing projects, the new version will automatically switch them to use individual locking options • New Performance Effect Keys
setting allows you to control the range of keys mapped to performance effects
• Tooltips
Improved :
• Fretboard display efficiency
• Interval names in pitch bend and legato range settings have been replaced with semitones
• Capo position now modulates the chord sound
• Open string legato mode now allows not only pull-off to open strings, but also hammer-on from open strings to higher notes on the fretboard
Fixed :
• Dynamic memory bug when canceling sustain articulation (try using one of the MIDI articulations, eg slide)
• Bug affecting Velocity Slide articulation in combination with sustain pedal pressed
