Pettinhouse – DirectGuitar

DirectGuitar 4 sets a new industry standard as the world’s first guitar library to completely eliminate traditional multi-layer sampling, delivering seamless transitions and an endless variety of sounds for unrivaled realism and expression.

DirectGuitar 4 is a professional instrument that not only accurately conveys the character of the Stratocaster, but also expands creative possibilities with dynamic and expressive features. The ideal tool for professional music production, conveying all the nuances of live guitar sound and offering wide customization options for any musical style.

Full pickup sampling includes all possible combinations:

• Neck: warm, mellow sound
• Neck + Mid: balanced combination of warmth and brightness
• Mid: clear, rounded tone
• Mid + Bridge: sharp, bright sound
• Bridge: clean, powerful signal for solos

Feature

• Smooth transitions between notes: Timbre changes naturally even with sudden changes in velocity, without the sharp jumps typical of traditional libraries.
• Endless variations: Each keystroke produces a unique sound, rather than a cyclical repetition of two or three samples.
• Natural Bends: The new band system creates an organic sound, free from the artificiality of digital effects.
• Advanced String Damping Control: Allows fine-tuning of the damping level, simulating real string interaction.
• Dynamic Pick Position: Vary your picking position from the neck to the bridge, varying the tone from warm and rhythmic to punchy and bright.
• Dynamic Strumming: When you play a chord, DirectGuitar 4 automatically strums the strings realistically, adapting to the velocity for natural expression.
• String Height: Adjusting the height affects the overtones and overall timbre.
• Power Chords function: Smoothly transition from muted to open chords while maintaining a natural sound.
• Funk Mode: Easily play funk patterns with smooth transitions between muted and open notes, capturing the true spirit of funk guitar. DirectGuitar 4 is more than just a sample library, it’s a powerful tool designed to inspire and enhance your music production.
• True Legato: The technology allows you to achieve smooth transitions between notes without using traditional multi-layer sampling. For ascending intervals, the hammer-on technique is used, for descending intervals – pull-off, which allows you to create natural, connected musical phrases with endless variations. The function also supports trills for rapid alternation of notes, providing the most realistic sound.
• Automatic Bends: Key switches activate perfect bends at any velocity value.
• Pinch Harmonics and Natural Harmonics: Create sharp, ringing harmonics.
• Unison bends: Simultaneous bending of several strings.
• Tapping: Emulation of tapping technique for solos and complex melodies.
• Flexible settings: Advanced control over sound variations, volume and other parameters.
