Vintaudio Debuts with Giga Clean Electric Guitars

November 09, 2001

Vintaudio presents Giga Clean Electric Guitars, a 2 GIG, 4 cd Gigasampler/Gigastudio sample library that includes 4 meticulously chromatically sampled guitars (3 guitars with one guitar sampled twice with different pick-up settings) with full decay on every sample, chromatically sampled at 3 neck positions that are keyswitched for extremely expressive performances. Every instrument also includes mutes in 3 velocities, hammer-ons and swells. Each instrument weighs in at approximately 500 megs.

The first guitar sampled is a 1959 Gibson Les Paul Custom. This instrument was sampled twice, once for each pick-up (for two 500 meg instruments). These can also be played together to get that middle pick-up position sound (both pick-ups playing ).

The second guitar in the lineup is a 1958 Fender Stratocaster, and finally, a modern clean sounding guitar, the Godin Artisan.

The idea behind this library was to sample the purest tones possible from these instruments and then use them in Gigasamper\Gigastudio with real amps, amps simulators such as the Line 6 pod, Alien Connections Revalver or Gigastudio effects and Directx plug-ins. The samples in this library were taken from the instrument, directly into a Focusrite's Discrete transistor instrument input, to the recorder in 24 bits, dithered down to 16 bits using Apogee's UV22 technology. Every sample (approximately 1200) was edited to maintain purity and level. This soundset is available exclusively from Vintaudio's website for $134.95 (Express air Shipping to United Sates and Canada included in price, International orders add $4.95 ).

Demo samples from the collection are available on-line.
