Vir2 Instruments announces Electri6ity

Vir2 Instruments is proud to announce Electri6ity


After more than three years of development, Vir2 Instruments presents Electri6ity, an epic electric guitar virtual instrument containing the most advanced, detailed, and versatile collection of electric guitars ever made in a virtual instrument.

Electri6ity contains eight of the most famous and distinguished guitar tones from the history of the instrument: the Strat, Tele, P90, Les Paul, Rickenbacker, Danelectro Lipstick, ES335, and L4. More than 24,000 24-bit samples were taken of each guitar. Three pickup options (front, rear, and mixed) are available on every guitar. An impressive amount of samples allow you to play every articulation on every fret of every string for an absolutely authentic guitar sound. Downstrokes, upstrokes, seamless velocity layers, ghost notes, mutes, flageoletts, hammer-ons, pulloffs, slides, releases, and FX...the sky is the limit with Electri6ity.

Electri6ity also utilizes the most advanced scripting to date, including the revolutionary Articulation Morphing Technology (A.M.T.) and Velocity Morphing Technology (V.M.T.) allowing for the seamless morphing from dead mute to sustain or from soft to loud. Advanced string and fretboard positioning is performed by artificial intelligence which adapts to your playing. Play fluid lines in real time using the legato engine, play chords using the chord detection engine which understands almost 2000 different chords, easily double-track, do unison bends, strum, pick, trill, tremolo pick, slide...all of this is built into the Electri6ity engine and full editing control is given over each of these parameters.

All samples in Electri6ity are recorded clean - a direct input from the guitar. Use Electri6ity's built-in multieffects (phaser, flanger, chorus, reverb, and delay), Screamer module, and amp simulation (British, Classic, Clean, Jazz, Metal, Modern, and Rock) to make the sound come alive, or use your own guitar amps or simulators to multiply the possibilities.

Electri6ity is powered by the industry-leading Kontakt engine. It is compatible with VST, AudioUnit, and RTAS (Pro Tools 7 & 8) plug-in formats allowing it to work seamlessly within any major sequencer, in addition to standalone use.

$399.95

WOW! What a giant....

 

can't wait to play with this one, it sounded amazing in the demos.

 

Demo sounds killer. Performance view and scripts looks well put together.

 

Hi everyone,

nice...that new video on the front page is awesome

 

Hi everyone,

Przemyslaw Kopczyk did a very nice, dark and moody trailer demo for Electri6ity. All guitars (rhythm, clean and solo) were played and recorded live.
The rhythm and clean guitars are using the various strum keys in Electri6ity which make it very easy to do rhythm and strumming parts.

Take a listen:

Here is another great demo from Przemyslaw Kopczyk. It shows the funky side of Electri6ity:

Funk-O-Town:

So, here goes another one. This time I wanted to see i how versatile the Electri6ity library is soundwise and more in a Rock ('n' roll ) style.

New Electri6ity review from MusicTech magazine says...9 out of 10!

Dear Vir2
Have you ever thought about making an Acoustic Legends HD 2 with the same possibilities as Electri6ty. I like the sound of the acoustic guitars, but I think that they are not quite up to date with articulations and strumming.

cheers Allan

Barkays (Holy Ghost)

Rick James

I'm looking for a really cool Rythym guitar (strumming). I'm very interested in your product. But , for the amount you are asking I want to make sure your product does exactly what I need. I'm also looking at CH Guitars, papen and a few others. I don't mind spending money, but I do hate wasting money.

thanks
