“Guitar Harmonics Essential by Cinematique Instruments

Free VST guitar for PC and Mac

The free VST guitar created by Cinematique Instruments can be used in every audio software featuring VST 3, AAX or AU with the free plug-in HALion Sonic SE 3. Guitar Harmonics focuses on so-called flageolet notes or harmonics and creates very pure and clear sounds of an electric guitar.

The instrument provides a lot of useful options giving you a wide range of tools to vary and change the sound at your own requirement such as note length control (decay), tone control, cabinet and rotary and a reverb and delay control.

With this array of tools, the instrument produces a wide spread of sounds such as organic reverse guitars, fragile string notes and warm e-piano tones.”

“The most emotional orchestral collection ever

Strings that soar, woodwinds that dance, brass that commands and a full symphony orchestra of sounds at your fingertips — all expertly performed with musical articulations for real music played by real musicians. From flowing legatos to animated pizzicatos, from aggressive spiccatos to elegant staccatos, from the most subtle pianissimo to the most triumphant fortissimo and more, Miroslav Philharmonik 2 is a sweeping vision from a master artist embodied in a new virtual instrument that brings the orchestra to life. It’s not enough to just have good recordings of classical instruments. For a true symphonic experience, you need instruments performed by the absolute best musicians articulated in just the right way directed by a producer and conductor who knows the fine art of making living, breathing samples. Miroslav Vitous pioneered the concept of a complete symphonic sample library for real composers, and now he has taken it to the next level.”
