Hi everyone!

This is our first post at AudioSex and our first announcement. We have just launched, we're new, we are VALIANT SAMPLES. And we're super excited to release our very first commercial instrument for Kontakt Player (or Kontakt 6) called QUARTARONE GUITAR REVERIES!



It's a new cinematic electric guitar instrument, capturing the avant-garde sound of acclaimed guitarist, CLAUDIO QUARTARONE. Made for Kontakt Player and compatible with NKS Hardware, these ambient, sensual, abstract, cinematic guitar sounds and vivid musical textures will add colour and depth to your music.

Please check out the full length trailer below (every sound in this demo was created using QGR):

Use it by combining two sound sources, adjusting the effects for each one, as well as global effects. This means you can go to town creating your own unique guitar textures from the provided sound sources.

This library also comes packed with a vast array of presets to get you started. From more naturally played guitar sounds, to pads and keyboard-like sounds, as well as more designed textural and abstract sounds. Sometimes it sounds like a guitar, and other times like an organic synthesizer, but all the sounds contained within are derived from Claudio's guitar.

Here is a video overview of its features as well as a few preset examples of what you can achieve with this instrument:

DETAILS:

• Compatible with NKS Hardware
• Works with Kontakt Player (or Kontakt 6)
• 150 Kontakt Presets
• Over 9GB of Compressed Samples

OUR CURRENT PRICE IS: $79 USD

We really hope you enjoy this instrument as much as we enjoyed making it!
I wish you all the very best during these tumultuous times. I hope you are all staying safe and healthy out there!

All the best,

- Dmitri

 

Sounds pretty good

 

Thank you! We think so too but we’re super biased.

 

Here is a really nice Library Spotlight by Cory Pelizzari of Quartarone Guitar Reveries:

Cory goes into some detail and shows off a cool post-rock track at the end using the instrument.

 

Sounds nice but nothing really new.

 

I'm sorry that you feel that way. We spent a lot of time and effort developing this instrument to stand out and it's a shame that not everyone is on board with our vision. But we can't expect to win over everybody.

I wish you well and all the best!

 

We're super stoked about this latest review of QGR, which has come from none other than Sound On Sound magazine!

They write:

"This innovative sample library launches the electric guitar into new sonic territory."

"... if you are on the lookout for smooth, beautiful and spacious tones that still evoke the ghost of the guitar, then this very sensibly priced instrument provides lots of potential without unnecessary complexity."

"An excellent library of lush sounds that transcend their guitar origins."
