Crafting The Sound

A CREATIVE EVOLUTION
Imagine that you now have your own personal guitar legend on call! Multi-instrumentalist, composer and producer Steve Ouimette lent his creative guitar skills and virtuosity to curate an expansive collection of both traditional and exotic strung instruments, each meticulously performed and captured in the most inventive and imaginative ways. From timeless acoustics and electrics to rare and alluring instruments such as the Ouija Board, Cigar Box, Cuatro, Marx-O-Chime, Dobrotron, Gizmotron, Ebow and far beyond, this sample palette pushes the boundaries of what each instrument can do. From these extraordinary recordings, Sample Logic has transformed these sample sets into a comprehensive range of organic-acoustic and electrified multi-sampled instruments. The result is a breathtaking collection of cinematic guitars that pulse with life and motion.

NEW WAYS TO PLAY
Elevate your compositions with an expansive palette of rich pads, intricate leads, aggressive distortions, and synthetic textures. Bid farewell to static samples as Cinematic Guitars ULTRA inspires you to infuse motion into sound, offering precise control over a comprehensive suite of parameters to sculpt and automate dynamic transformations. Unleash your creativity to conjure bespoke creations that unfurl in captivating ways, springing from your speakers. The UltraEngine seamlessly blends diverse sound sources and animations via the Quad Core engine and X/Y core mixer. Beyond this, the UltraBand Sound Sculptor is your layering playmate; a clever bandpass filter interface designed to shape the frequency spectrum of each sound, carving every frequency to slot perfectly into your productions. Generate unique sequences with dual arpeggiators, and complex harmonics with the dedicated chord engine.

ENDLESS MODULATIONS
Cinematic Guitars ULTRA shatters the idea of conventional preset playback, transcending the usual boundaries of sample
manipulation. Experience a new level of sonic transformation with the UltraEngine’s myriad of modulators, enabling precise sculpting and automation of a vast spectrum of parameters. Never has it been easier to inject captivating motion into your sounds with 10 independent modulators, seamlessly automating almost every parameter available. Inject life into your guitar timbres with animated tremolo, vibrato, and unison effects for lush chorus processing. Create dynamic textures with powerful filter modulation and filter envelope automation, or push the boundaries with FM synthesis. The fun doesn’t stop there; apply these same LFOs and modulator shapes to FX sends, creating constantly evolving effects that add depth and dimension to your soundscapes. Use the central customizable X/Y core mixer to morph between the sources, offering unparalleled creative control. Effortlessly blend core sound sources and sculpt complex sonic textures with a simple touch or automated playback patterns.
