Desolate & Velvet Guitars Bundle
The deal
$149 at Native Instruments (down from $229).
What it is
A two-instrument bundle of electric guitar virtual instruments for Kontakt, developed by e-instruments. Desolate Guitars captures four vintage guitars with an atmospheric, tense character suited to film scores and indie production. Velvet Guitars adds five iconic guitars with warm, mellow tones. Both run in the free Kontakt Player and are NKS/NKS2 compatible.
Key features
- Covers an unusually wide range of playing articulations - plucks, mutes, dead notes, chord swells, harmonics, slides, ebow, violin bow, and lo-fi tape textures
- Chord voicings (major/minor) are selectable via modwheel, and articulation switching is modwheel-controlled throughout
- Both instruments include vintage amp options, real spring reverb, and tremolo
- Velvet Guitars adds a guitarist-designed FX chain with presets
Who it's for
Producers and composers who want expressive, playable guitar sounds without recording live guitar - particularly those working in indie, ambient, or media scoring contexts where tonal character matters more than technical realism.
