The Hammer-On technique is usually utilized to bridge notes together… or for killer solos. For this library it is the sole articulation used and played on a stratocaster which has been cleanly recorded and multisampled.
There are no loops here (save for one patch), each patch contains meticulously recorded and mastered multisamples as played on a strat.
As this sort of play style is normally not showcased giving this instrument a very unique sound and timbre not found anywhere else. Just check out the two demos below, EVERYTHING heard is from Hammer-On.

Consisting of 13 patches, Hammer-On can sound soft and sweet, creepy, or up tension in an action scene. If you play in the higher ranges it can even sound ethnic, similar to a dulcimer. The GUI has controls for EQ (bass, mid, hi), reverb (a huge hall convolution reverb), and attack. The attack and EQ knobs can drastically alter the sound and vibe of each patch.
Hammer-On is NOT your average guitar library. Yes, it does contain multisampled electric guitar patches, but it is aimed squarely at cinematic and video game scores than producing authentic rock ballads.
