Producers, ever find yourself searching for that perfect guitar texture, a unique pad, or a killer funk lick without getting lost in endless sample libraries? We know the feeling. For just two weeks, we’re featuring the Dark Intervals 6-in-1 Complete Guitars Bundle, a collection designed to bring immediate inspiration and distinct electric guitar sounds directly to your Kontakt setup.
Why Choose the Dark Intervals Complete Guitars Bundle?
This comprehensive bundle combines the full "Guitars In Space" series (all 4 volumes) and both "Smooth Guitars" instruments, totaling six powerful Kontakt libraries. These instruments are not fully sampled guitars with many various articulations; rather, they are intelligent tools built with several complementary elements for composers seeking ready-to-go loops, licks, phrases, and specific sonic textures. Designed with simplicity and quick usability in mind, each patch is crafted to be an instant catalyst for your creative process. You'll find sounds that mimic real guitar effects, such as palm mutes, allowing for authentic implementation into your music. Many phrases and loops are prerecorded and tempo-synced when used in Kontakt, streamlining your workflow. The diverse sounds are sourced from a range of quality guitars including a 2016 El Diablo Stratocaster, Vintage Hofner 164 (Jaguar replica), 1978 Gibson 347, 1976 Gibson ES 175, 1976 Stratocaster, and an Original 1968 Gibson 335, alongside various outboard effects and processors.
Guitars In Space Series (Volumes 1-4): Crafting Atmospheric and Cinematic Soundscapes
The "Guitars In Space" series provides a unique toolkit specifically tailored for ambient and cinematic indie genres. These instruments are compact, easy to use, and known for blending seamlessly with pianos and ambient string sounds. Across the four volumes, you'll discover a rich palette of sounds:
- Guitars In Space Vol 1: Features 6 instrument patches, including a natural-sounding Plectrum main patch (sampled in neck pickup, 4 velocity layers, 4 round robins), lush Guitar Pads created with external reverbs, and Guitar Cosmos which adds mystical fretless baritone phrases and licks for inspiring textures.
- Guitars In Space Vol 2: Expands with 10 patches, featuring a main Plectrum (Bridge) patch, unique Decime Shimmers (finger style, E-major, imprinted effects), and versatile Floating Chords separated into major, minor, and sus2 types. It also includes atmospheric pads like Blue Motion and Guitars On Kepler, plus tempo-synced pulsating patches like Velvet Pulsar 1 & 2. For intricate rhythms, explore the tempo-synced sequences of Diamond Rain On Pluto, Crystal Rain On Pluto, and Quiet Rain On Pluto, offering major and minor variations. The interface provides immediate control over attack, release, stereo spread, reverb, and delay.
- Guitars In Space Vol 3: Focuses on a very natural and responsive Muted Guitar (neck position, 4 velocity layers, 2 round robins). This volume offers 16 NKI files and 8 NKM multis, packed with inspirational loops, sequences, and textures that sync to your DAW. You can easily adjust hi/lo-pass filters with resonance and cut parameters, alongside built-in reverb and delay. Keyboard colors indicate major or minor variations for sequences and loops.
- Guitars In Space Vol 4: This volume acts as a comprehensive toolkit, offering 21 playable instruments and 20 prerecorded loops. It includes essential sounds like Palm Muted (neck and middle positions), Sustained Plectrum (neck position), swells, pads, and swarms. What sets Vol 4 apart are its built-in, controllable effects accessed via pop-up windows for Chorus/Flanger, Envelope/Filter, Reverb/Delay, and Overdrive/Rotary, giving you powerful sound-shaping capabilities directly within the instrument.
Smooth Guitars Series (Volumes 1-2): Retro Funk and Jazzy Grooves at Your Fingertips
For a different flavor, the "Smooth Guitars" series delivers retro funk and jazzy elements in both Kontakt instrument and sample pack formats. These volumes are packed with prerecorded, royalty-free loops, licks, and phrases that are tempo-synced when used in Kontakt, ready to drop into your tracks. The sounds are predominantly based on the pentatonic scale, making them highly versatile for both major and minor contexts.
- Smooth Guitars Vol 1: Offers 8 instrument patches, including various clean, processed, and wah loops, along with clean, crunch, and wah licks. It also provides useful one-shot, single-layered WAV files for Chords (major, minor, minor7) and Fourths. Loops and licks are recorded in A, C, and E keys at 90 bpm.
- Smooth Guitars Vol 2: Delivers 8 patches focused on Licks (Dry, Wah) and Loops (Loops 1 Dry/Wah, Loops 2 Dry/Wah, Loops 3-335, Loops 4-335). Loops and licks are available in A, C, and E keys, with patches 1-6 at 110 bpm and patches 7-8 at 90 bpm, all syncing automatically to your host tempo in Kontakt. Patches 7 and 8 offer combinations of major, minor, and dominant scales, expanding your harmonic options. This volume also includes 320 kbps MP3 versions alongside the WAV samples.
