Cinematique Instruments has released Bowed Guitars, a collection of acoustic guitar and acoustic bass instruments played exclusively with a bow. The bass is available as an amped or a clean version. A Martin acoustic guitar and a Harley Benton acoustic bass were used for the recordings.

For each instrument every note was recorded in a short, long and tremolo variation with at least 2 Round Robin variations. The long and short notes are key switched in one patch (not in the amped bass version), in which you can control either the dynamic or the attack by using the modwheel. Scriptings are also provided for each instrument offering a lot of variations such as length of release, amp simulation, reverb amount, etc.
