 YOUR SESSION ELECTRIC PLAYER 
ELECTRIC SUNBURST precisely captures a timeless, playable electric guitar, ideal for modern productions. It combines a comprehensive library of strumming patterns, picked arpeggios, and genuine riffs with real-time performance controls. The innovative playback engine allows for a virtually endless number of chord variations, and creates convincing, musical results from effortless input. 

 TAKE YOUR PICK 
ELECTRIC SUNBURST offers the same realistic strumming engine found in STRUMMED ACOUSTIC 1 and 2 – ideal for chord accompaniments. It also introduces riffs and a new picking mode: Simply play a chord for highly convincing picked patterns. Playing these new pattern types should feel totally familiar to STRUMMED ACOUSTIC users. 

 RELEASE-READY SOUND 
ELECTRIC SUNBURST features a high-quality suite of effects, amps, and cabinet emulations. Three distortion and four modulation effects provide the sound of classic pedals, while five amplifier models and a choice of ten cabinets offer an authentic end-to-end guitar sound. Finally, high-quality console EQ, two compressors, tape emulation, reverb, delay, and tape delay allow for a complete, release-ready guitar sound entirely within the instrument. 

 THE GUITAR 
ELECTRIC SUNBURST captures the sound of a classic guitar chosen for its rich, warm, and versatile sound. A pristine signal path was kept throughout, including high-end cables, vintage tube preamps, and high-resolution converters, to ensure that every nuance of this legendary instrument was accurately captured. As the bridge and neck pickup signals were recorded separately, you can take full control of the mix balance. What’s more, a condenser microphone was mounted above the strings to capture fine sonic details and add punch and realism to the performance. 

 CONTENT LIBRARY 
Choose from 154 patterns, covering a wide range of realistic riffs, arpeggios, strummed intervals, and chords. The patterns are conveniently grouped into 31 well-coordinated song presets suitable for everything from contemporary pop to electro. The autochord mode and convenient voicing presets allow anybody to perform or program convincing electric guitar parts, no matter their musical background. 

The library provides individual signals of the bridge and neck pickup, plus a microphone. Thousands of loops, single notes, and noises were sampled over a wide range of fret positions, and played both with plectrum and fingers in open, muted, and flageolet articulations. This provides unprecedented flexibility, realism, and tonal variety. Tuning, timing, and humanization settings make for genuine live-sounding performances over many musical styles.
