\uffe5Hammered Acoustic Guitar (HAG) is the result of \u201eplaying\u201c an Ibanez AE acoustic guitar with drum sticks and brushes. In order to make it punchy and powerful we used two steel strings and tuned them to same pitch. This way we could maintain a slight modulation of the sound, a beat frequency.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But we did not stop after recording single notes. In fact, we have expanded the concept and did additional recording sessions dedicated to percussion and effect sounds. Especially the FX content is heavily processed and offers great material for musical sound design. Check out the special features of each package in the tab menu below. Also, you shouldn\u2019t miss to take a closer look at the patch list.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Many ways to get creative with HAG<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u2013 make rhythmic sections (the in-built presets are a great and easy way to start creating your own sound according to \u201ayour\u2019 taste)
\n\u2013 play HAG as a solo instrument, choose between the modern (perfectly tuned) and the \u201aorganic\u2019 sample set
\n\u2013 use the FX & Percussion section to spice up or even create tracks entirely with it
\n\u2013 use sounds from HAG FX & Percussion for musical sound design:
\nfeatures like the<\/i>morphing slider(morphs between clean and distorted percussion),
\n<\/i>reverb on the modwheel(sampled) or
\n<\/i>tempo-synced stutter FXsgive you the flexibility to sculpture the sound to fit your track.
\nThe organic feel of both, the natural and processed content freshens up sterile sounding compositions.<\/i><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
About the v1.5 update
\nBased on the feedback of HAG users and driven by new ideas and creativity we felt that it was about time to make some improvements to HAG:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n

\n\u2013 drastically reduced RAM footprint in Kontakt by no increasing of CPU usage (Core)

\n\u2013 ensemble function with up to 4 guitars at the same time, including dedicated mixer section with 4 channel strips
\n\u2013 in-built preset section with 4 additional user preset slots (Core)<\/i><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Simply said, you get everything what is included in Core and FX & Percussion and even more.

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\u2013 \u201cadd magic\u201d slider

<\/p>\n
\u2013 mellow function
\nIf you are looking for an intimate sound with a smaller dynamic range, these patches are for you. They are very suitable for piano-esque playing.<\/i><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\u2013 \u201cmodern\u201d button
\nWhen this button is turned on, all samples are tuned perfectly and the overall sound is a little bit brighter. When turned off the sound appears a little bit sloppy with more character. The difference between both is subtle, but it\u2019s there.<\/i>

<\/p>\n
\u2013 detune slider in tonal patches

<\/p>\n
\u2013 in-built depth and space
