The instrument

On string instruments, players can cause a string to vibrate only in
sections by touching it lightly at the appropriate point. This can produce
a pure and clear note of a cool, silvery quality. It is called ‘flageolet notes’
or ‘harmonics’.

What we did

The FREE ‘Guitar Harmonics Essentials’ consists of harmonic notes of an
electrical Fender guitar. We spent a lot of time finding the perfect setup
to achieve a warm and realsitic sound. In the end we decided to record
the guitars tuned in open E with 3 Round Robin variation and particulary
several velocity layers – sufficient for our purposes. The instrument
provides a lot of useful tools such as note length control (release and
attack), EQ control, amp simulation, delay and reverb amount.

Summing up these tools enable each instrument to produce a wide
spread of sounds such as organic reverse guitars, fragile string notes or
warm e-piano tones.
