Imagine a
brilliant guitarist playing absolutely fluid legato solos and awesome power chord grooves
on a world-class guitar: You can hear it from various guitar legends - but could you
expect that level of performance from a sampled guitar?
OVERDRIVE makes it possible - using the revolutionary Performance Tool, the quintessence
of Vienna Symphonic Library’s expertise - to create your own authentic and unique
riffs, exploit the limits of technical feasibility, and get a completely real tube sound
performance for the first time ever!
OVERDRIVE contains about 6 gigabytes of samples, including Vienna's unique Performance
Elements, featuring a seven-string distorted guitar. Along with various short and
sustained notes, power chords, slides, hammer-ons, pull-offs, picked notes, and more, you
get loads of effect samples like octave runs, feedbacks, scratches, and e-bowed notes -
for a smooth, fat sound and unbelievably realistic performances! Incidentally, repetitions
and sustains start at B0 on the lower end, extending the range of a standard guitar down a
4th!
The state-of-the-art gear used to make Overdrive was hand selected to provide the perfect
total distortion sound, including a fantastic 7-string solid-body guitar, and classic
amplifiers and cabinets, mic’d and recorded in Vienna’s Silent Stage.
Equipment:
- Steve Vai signature, 7 strings
- Brunetti XL II R-EVO
- Marshall 1960 TV monitors, 4x12
- Ernie Ball 9 – 52 strings
