The instrument that MODWHEEL has sampled for their Biscuit Tin Guitar library is a one off,
hand crafted by Steve Roche. Steve has been making tin guitars and other odd instruments for
many years for use in his soundtrack work with Plan 9 and live with the bands he performs with.

This particular instrument is a 4 string fretless with open G Banjo tuning (D G B D). For
sampling purposes the range of the instrument has been extended down to the E below the D
of its natural range.



The instrument is fitted with a pickup and was recorded both acoustically as well as through
a vintage Fender Twin Reverb amp.



Biscuit Tin Guitar features:

- 35 Kontakt patches both acoustic and electric, with finger and plectrum Performance
- Keyswitches operate the different note options i.e. Long, Short, Mute, Semitone Slide Up
and Hammer Off
- Dynamic keyswitching to aid performance with several velocity layers and at least 3 round robin
- FX panel on each patch gives the ability to adjust the sound to further suit your requirements.
