In Detail
SampleArt-Quality
Already tens of thousands of users
Tens of thousands of users are already using the more than 50 Kontakt Player libraries – some of them have won multiple awards – in which we have been involved as an external service provider. SampleArt stands with over 10 years of experience in the development of Kontakt Player libraries: Conception, planning, recording and sophisticated Kontakt scripting.
Virtual instruments on a whole new level
Shredolution combines this experience in our first self-publication: A recording process optimized over many years, special audio tools developed by us for the sampling process and a decade of experience with the powerful Kontakt script programming, which allows us to push the boundaries of virtual instruments and take realism to a whole new level.
Strong Base
Based on Kontakt with full NKS standard support
Shredolution is based on Kontakt 6, which is the most powerful sampler available in the market. The NKS standard connects KOMPLETE KONTROL keyboards and MASCHINE hardware to software instruments. On KOMPLETE KONTROL S-Series keyboards, for example, effect parameters, articulations and key switches are visualized directly on the hardware. This results into complete control and excellent orientation.
Kazrog Recabinet Suite
Shredolution includes the Recabinet Suite licensed by Kazrog: With 18 guitar cabinets – miked by eight microphones in six positions – you have a total of 864 different guitar cabinet simulations available for your perfect electric guitar sound.
Application Chameleon
Optimized for all applications
Whether as a live instrument or in a sequencer, whether as a GM-MIDI instrument or as a MIDI guitar instrument, Shredolution provides you the choice of using your preferred control. The flexible Shredolution engine is optimized for a variety of applications that can be activated with the touch of a button. Each mode offers you the optimal possibilities to realize your ideas.
AI Chord Recognition
Powerful automatic chord recognition with customizable AI
Just play a chord on the keyboard or in the sequencer, and the AI chord recognition does the rest. The AI quickly determines the most suitable chord from more than 60,000 chords per guitar tuning. But you can also manually select the right guitar chord voicing for each chord played on the keyboard easily. From now on, your guitar chord will always be played exactly as you want it!
Effect Section
Self-sufficient: No further plugins needed
Shredolution comes with a complete effect section. No additional plugins are required in order to create the guitar sound you want. Equalizers, compressor, chorus, flanger, delay, reverb, different effect and distortion pedals, different guitar amp models and the famous Kazrog Recabinet cabinet simulation are available. All settings can, of course, be controlled via MIDI.
Professional presets
Shredolution contains a variety of professional and “production-ready” presets as a starting point for your ultimate guitar sound.
Keyswitch Power
Factory presets
Shredolution offers full flexibility when it comes to keyswitches. Shredolution includes live presets for 61- and 88-key keyboards and sequencer presets for the case that you use the instrument mainly in your DAW. On the other hand, user presets can be created that exactly match your needs.
Create your own presets
You can effortlessly create presets that select the desired articulations according to keyboard velocity or the modwheel position. For example, when playing slightly (or with the modwheel turned down), muted “palm muted” notes will be played, and when playing strongly (or with the modwheel turned up), open “sustain” notes will be played.
Of course, classic key switches are also possible, where each key switch selects a specific articulation
