Product Description
Whether it’s moodily swelling, emotively plucking or chordally washing into your ears, cinematic guitar is a mainstay across the modern soundtracking world. Though this playing style is also prevalent in ambient music, it’s really in the generation of score-ready textures for working composers that Audiomodern pitch Opacity II – a highly manipulable guitar sample player, loaded up with some exquisitely well-recorded axe work.
Comprising 14 sessions delicately performed by Washington-based Terre Grande guitarist Justin Hodges, Opacity II’s recording quality is the first thing that hits you after loading up the software within Kontakt. Sumptuous arpeggios, gloomy swells and echo-sodden notes abound as you cycle through the preset Sessions.
Each of the 14 tempo and key-defined Sessions contains four groups of looped performances, comprising elements such as Chords, Phrases, Sequences and Melodic Textures. Each of these groups have 12 different recordings of different approaches to these sound types that all gel together harmonically. This variation can be further increased by dragging across the individual sounds from other Sessions, too.
You’ll note that this is Opacity ‘II’ and follows on from the inaugural version which was only released in 2019, therefore there aren’t major changes to the sound palette in v2, aside from a few additional Sessions and an amazingly effective Reverse mode that can transform the feel of your parts instantly.
Two of the biggest boons with this sequel are the ability to alter your cabinet, selecting between the tonal characteristics of 11 different cab options, modelled after some of the big hitters from the amp world. You can further fine-tune their Size, Air, Balance, Distance and Wetness, as well as a slower or faster rotation, which can bring all kinds of interesting effects to the table.
The other big addition is a brand new, performance mode. Performance mode lets you harness four hugely different individual guitar tones (the ones which make up each group) in playable, modifiable form across your controller keyboard. This can be a cool way to create and save your own individual patches, should you not actually be a guitarist yourself, or find yourself smitten with
