Performance Distortion Guitar

Imagine a brilliant guitarist playing absolutely fluid legato solos and awesome power chord grooves on a world-class guitar. You often hear it on various guitar tracks -- 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 seven-string solid-body guitar, and classic amplifiers and cabinets, mic'd and recorded in Vienna's Silent Stage.
