Soniccouture releases eBow Guitar for Kontakt2 & EXS24

Soniccouture has released eBow Guitar, a sampled re-creation of the unique sound of the eBow, for Kontakt 2 & EXS24.

The ebow (Energy bow), is a small, hand held device that 'bows' the strings of a guitar using an electromagnetic field. It produces a unique guitar sound, with a very slow attack and infinite sustain.

Two guitars were sampled - an acoustic and an electric. Both were sampled with the high and low power ebow setting, with vibrato and without vibrato. Several note off samples were recorded for every note, to make the instrument's response as detailed and lifelike as possible. The level of the note-off sounds can be mixed to taste by the user. The acoustic was recorded in full stereo to give a natural, spacious image.

Features / Specs:

• 1.2 GB Library (Kontakt 2 and EXS24).
• Acoustic and Electric Guitars.
• 950 24-bit 44.1 kHz Samples (Acoustic - Stereo, Electric - Mono).
• 3 Note-off Samples per note.
• Low Power, High Power, Vibrato and Non-Vibrato samples (R.Robin).

eBow Guitar is available in Kontakt 2 and EXS24 formats and costs £45 (Download) / £47 (DVD). Audio demos are available.
