From soft finger-picked notes to slanted, scratchy plectrum attacks — each articulation is carefully captured to convey warmth, intimacy, and emotion. Legato and round robin options give life and human feel to your playing, whether you’re scoring a scene or composing worshipful ambient music.
Unleash the power of our innovative 4-layer instrument, complete with an intuitive XY pad, and craft evolving soundscapes that will transport your listeners. With a vast collection of meticulously designed sound sources, the possibilities are endless. Create infinite unique patches using the randomisation feature.
In addition to clean tones, FRETS includes:
The built-in arpeggiator lets you create rhythmic, plucky patterns ideal for modern cinematic and inspirational styles — tight, muted phrases that pulse with subtle energy.
MICRON FRETS includes samples of several electric guitar, each with distinct articulations and techniques which suit best the sound. You will find Solid Bodies played with the pick, Hollow Bodies played with fingers, several Pick Ups options.*
*The guitars have been sampled with the pick up position sound, amplifier sound and effects (Compressor or Eq) baked in. Each guitar will have a specific technique (Fingers, Pick, Slanted Pick, Muted pick), and several velocity layers, from soft ghost notes to sustains (except for the short staccato sound source). All guitars will respond to legato when the fret position allows it, and some will include slides or hammer on/pull off samples as special articulations.
We sampled all strings diatonically. And for each electric guitar sound source you can set the Fret Position for each phrase, or let the engine decide it for you.
Composers, cinematic sound designers, ambient musicians, worship teams, post-rock artists, and anyone looking for real guitar tone with deep emotional character. FRETS is ideal for post-rock, Christian modern music, film scoring, and storytelling through sound.
Twist reality with the intuitive reverse patch, reversing each sample layer on the fly to uncover unexpected sonic textures. Sculpt rhythmic pulses and evolving dynamics with the per-layer step volume, adding intricate motion to your four-layered sound designs.
This library is designed for full playability, thanks to its detailed multi-sampling across a broad range of notes. This ensures consistent character as you move across the keyboard.

Nice usable sounds. The UI does not always work nice with a mouse. But, I will.certainly use this on some of my projects.
