Evolution Electric Guitar Strawberry

After a year in development, we're pleased to announce the release of the new Evolution guitar engine. We completely redesigned the interface and the scripting to greatly increase the playability and ease-of-use of the library.

Audio demo:
Audio Demo #1: Reja Vu
All guitar effects used in this demo are available directly in Evolution Electric Guitar Strawberry, with no external effects used for the guitar.

Here are a few of the new, exciting features:

* Built-in effects processing
Evolution now includes an assortment of virtual stompbox effects, and a vast array of guitar cabinet impulses. Whether you need high distortion leads, or chorused strumming parts, Evolution's effects engine covers a lot of ground.

* Pick position modeling
Based on proprietary physical modeling technology, this efficiently and realistically reproduces the timbral differences of a string plucked in different areas.

* External presets
All the effects, mapping, and performance settings can now be stored in external preset files. That means that you don't have to reload the entire library to audition different presets. It also means that the presets can be easily shared with other Evolution users.

* Reduced memory footprint
Using dynamic sample purging, the Evolution guitar engine only loads the articulations you're currently using to reduce memory usage and speed up loading time.

...And that only scratches the surface of all the new features in the new Evolution guitar engine!


We've applied the updated engine to the Strawberry electric guitar sample library, and will soon release the Steel Strings acoustic guitar library as well. Future guitars in the Evolution series will also use the new engine.

Price:
We're currently having a $40 OFF re-introductory sale on Evolution Electric Guitar to celebrate this new release, so you can pick up your copy of the new Evolution Electric Guitar today for $139 (regularly $179)! This discount offer will expire on May 31st.

FREE Upgrade:
Furthermore, if you are a current owner of Evolution Electric Guitar, we've already emailed you your download links for this free update. If you can't find the email, be sure to check your spam folder as well, or just send us an email.

Format:
Due to the extensive scripting, this sample library is available in Kontakt 4+ format only. Evolution Electric Guitar Strawberry requires the full retail version of Kontakt, so it is not compatible with the free Kontakt Player.

Looks good
I have the "Iconic Bass Jaco" and I must say I love it.

Looks like a major update, thanks very much for making it free for existing customers! Downloading!!!

Sounds really good!

Fantastic update. Thank you, Greg!

Just amazing to get a major update like this for free.

Checked my spam folder, and the links were there. How to install? Over existing? Or as a fresh install?

Cheers

Do it as a fresh install to make sure you won't break your previous projects.

Great.
Thanks

Amazing, yes. Surprising, no! Greg has a history of going out of his way for customers (IMO).

Thanks so much for all the kind words! I'm busy finishing up the Steel Strings updated version, and can't wait to apply this new engine to more acoustic and electric guitars! The engine supports guitars with over 6 strings, so we'll see...

Is there a video tutorial on using the strum? I'm a bit confounded by this.

Also, the strum trigger note is the lowest on the keyboard, and my keyboard doesn't have enough keys, making performance difficult. Is there a way to re-assign this to another key?

Love the update btw. Already prominently featured in a couple of my tunes.

Cheers

There are some older tutorials on the strum engine.

I'm aware of these, but hasn't the strum engine changed with the latest overhaul?
