Bedroom producers craving sad vibes finally have a new toy to create atmosphere. e-instruments released Velvet Guitars to generate warm, emotive sounds without needing actual talent. This virtual instrument costs 99 euros before hiking up to 149 euros later. Owners of Desolate Guitars get a discount, while new buyers can grab both in a bundle for 229 euros.
The library packs five distinct options, like a classic semi-hollow finger-style axe or a baritone with thick woody tones. Users get a sixties solid-body offset that shimmers alongside a jazzy non-traditional guitar. An acoustic recorded through magnetic pickups rounds out the selection for maximum moody textures.
Creators recorded samples using odd items like toothbrushes or coins to get strange noises. The interface skips annoying key switching to let the mod wheel handle blending. Articulations range from standard sustains to reversed swells or drifting feedback that creates evolving soundscapes suited for lo-fi beats.
Engineers tracked everything through vintage amps using Shure SM57 and Royer R-121 mics. Signals hit Rupert Neve Designs Shelford Channel preamps to ensure the audio quality stays high. They captured real spring reverb from the amplifiers and modeled tremolo effects based on famous pedals.
You need Native Instruments Kontakt or the free Player version 8.5.1 to run this thing. It works on Windows 10 PCs or Macs running macOS 13 or newer. Support includes VST3 and AAX formats if you refuse to use the standalone application.
