The metal-style Three-Body Technology Heavier 7 Strings is a sampler-based, 7-string guitar virtual instrument plug-in with a fully equipped effects rack and a library of 200 MIDI patterns in various styles, including metal, rock, pop, and clean. Playable on a keyboard in real time, it presents keyboardists with new creative opportunities by giving them access to authentic sounds and precise articulations previously available only to metal guitar players, while being able to compose and perform using their preferred instrument.
Heavier 7 Strings offers an 8GB library comprising 10,000+ samples that were recorded with high-quality, 24-bit / 48 kHz A/D conversion and low noise level. It features the company s THRASH (Tonal/Harmonic Reconstruction and Shaping) DSP engine that provides realistic pitch-bend and pitch-shift, as well as dynamically adjustable sample harmonics. Each note is recorded with up to sixteen round-robins and processed by the THRASH engine, which induces randomized tone changes to produce more realistic repeated playing than with random-repeats samples.
The software gives keyboard players access to metal-specific articulations such as hammer on & pull off, legato slide in/out, pinch harmonics, tremolo, palm mute, picking noise, polyphonic legato and more, all playable in real time. In addition, Heavier 7 Strings effect rack offers 19 effect modules, 16 amp emulations (from metal to clean), 66 cabinet IRs with adjustable delay, volume and phasing, expertly chained in 200 factory presets that deliver studio-level quality for your guitar tracks.
